everyone picks on the big shots, teams that always win, Yankees, Lakers, Cowboys, etc..
I think there should be a more merit-based hate system in place.
The Cowboys are a team with no superstars, a coach that's finally in charge, an owner who has changed his tune/attitude it seems, no crazy trades on draft day, just keeping a low profile and doing what needs to be done.
The Lakers have given those who hate them even more reason to do so. In no other sport and no scenario I can imagine would it be possible for a team to attract free agents that will have such an unfair impact. Yes, I said unfair, and I'm not whining, it is the truth. Veteran stars want rings, that's understandable. But they totally altered the landscape of the league by playing for far less than they are worth. (Plus the whole Kobe thing.)
The Yankees are more obnoxious than the Cowboys ever were, and Derek Jeter is extremely overrated. The Rocket helps people hate them too.
What other teams that are deserving of hatred?
Miami Hurricanes - who's even heard of Miami University outside of college football, and maybe basketball. They don't have the history or the real college experience of Alabama or Penn State or Ohio State or Nebraska or Oklahoma or Michigan or Notre Dame or Texas, or even the other Florida schools, and I don't like them.
I also don't like Phil Eagles, cause they have obnoxious, hateful fans. I'll get off of my soapbox now.
