[Top 10 List] Most Hated Sports Teams



Most Hated Sports Teams

Hatred.

There's nothing like it in the sports world. If you are a sports fan at all, you have experienced some form of hatred for another team. There's no telling where all the hatred comes from, but it's there and there's all kinds of different forms.

There's hatred for a team who seems like they continuously have success year-in and year-out while your favorite team continues to drown itself.

There's hatred for a team who has a player that you just can't stand. Hate a certain athlete? There's a great chance you dislike the team he plays for as well.

There's hatred for a fan base. Sometimes you don't like a team just because you hate their fans. Trust me, it happens WAY more often than you think.

There's hatred for a rival team. Every sports team has a rival. If you are a fan of a certain team, you HAVE to hate their rival. If you don't, it throws the world off-balance.

See what I mean? The sports world is filled with hate and it's time I got this off my chest.

Here are MY top 10 most hated professional sports teams.....





Honorable Mentions:



Pittsburgh Steelers





Boston Red Sox




And now, the TOP 10!......



10. Houston Rockets



Unless you're a Houston Rockets fan, there's a good chance you don't like them. As of right now, they have two of the most hated NBA players on their roster (James Harden & Dwight Howard), which definitely isn't doing them any favors on a national scale. Historically though, the Rockets have had a lot of run-ins with my beloved Portland Trail Blazers in the post-season and things have gotten downright nasty at times. Most of the time the ball seems to bounce in Houston's favor, but my boy Damian Lillard was able to change that a few years ago with his magical game six shot to win the playoff series. HOW DID THAT ONE TASTE ROCKETS FANS?!?!?!



9. Seattle Seahawks



My hatred for the Seahawks doesn't only stem from the team's recent success, but that plays a part in it. Why? Because Seattle is the closest NFL town to the city I live in, so the bandwagon fans came out of every single hole that exists in the Pacific Northwest and it's awful. My dislike for the Seachickens actually started when I was a little kid though. It just so happens that I'm a fan of the Kansas City Chiefs and growing up, the Chiefs and the Seahawks were AFC West rivals. Well, just because the NFL decided to do away with 5 team divisions, that doesn't mean my hatred for the Seachickens just goes away. I still hate these guys and their recent Super Bowl runs were hard to watch. That's old school hatred my friend.



8. Miami Heat


We didn't use to always hate the Miami Heat, did we? It wasn't until LeBron James and Chris Bosh took their "talents to South Beach" that we started to dislike this team with a passion. Why? Because all of a sudden, we had a legit potential NBA dynasty on our hands and unfortunately the worst fan base in the NBA were the ones who got blessed with the championships. Instead of all of them getting together and going elsewhere to bless an NBA fan base that would appreciate this team, the Heat "fans" got the LeBron/Bosh/Wade championship team just years after getting the Shaq/Wade championship teams. Do you think those fans appreciate it? Not at all. Bunch'a jerks, I tell ya.



7. Dallas Cowboys


The Cowboys are one of those teams that you either hate or you love. They have such an enormous fan base that when the team is good, everyone knows about it and it's annoying as shit. I won't go as far as to say that Dallas Cowboys fans are the most annoying in sports, but if they aren't first place...they are taking home either a silver or bronze trophy in that department.



6. Utah Jazz



Unless you were a Portland Trail Blazers fan growing up in the 90's and early 2000's (DAMN YOU KARL MALONE AND JOHN STOCKTON!), it might be hard to understand my hatred for the Utah Jazz. Just know that it exists and it's real. The Jazz have had some down years lately and no one has enjoyed that more than myself. When Utah is really good, there's a chance you'll end up seeing them higher on this list. 



5. Oakland Raiders


The Raiders are a rival of my favorite NFL team the Kansas City Chiefs, so naturally they would be on this list. Unfortunately for Raiders fans, they have sucked for the last 15 years so their ranking has decreased a little. Fortunately for Raiders fans, I "think" they are starting to build a pretty good little team down in Oakland right now and that could all change real quick. Son of a bitch. 



4. New York Yankees


I wanted to like the Yankees when I was growing up. I really did. They had a lot of the cool legendary players. They had a cool signature hat. And they played in the "Big Apple". 3 things that would usually result in a big thumbs up from this guy. However, something just wasn't working and I don't know what it was, but it got ugly really quick and nothing has ever changed. From the whole "Boston/New York overkill", to the "OMG BYE DEREK JETER!" world tour, to the A-Rod bullcrap, and more. These guys just bring nothing to the table and every year they don't win a World Series means it's another good year in MLB. When people ask me who my favorite MLB team is I usually respond with "Whoever's beating the Yankees" and there's a reason for that. The Yankees suck.



3. San Antonio Spurs


The Spurs are assholes. First of all, they've won entirely too much since Tim Duncan was drafted. That might be a good thing if you live in San Antonio, but outside of it...we all hate your guts for that reason, trust me. And if that wasn't enough, they have to steal free agents like LaMarcus Aldridge from teams like the Portland Trail Blazers because they knew their time on top was almost up. The Spurs are one of the most boring teams in the NBA. Their style of play is extremely boring to watch. Their logo is stupid. Their colors are ridiculously boring (OOOOHHHHH GRAY! WAY TO WOW PEOPLE!). And if that wasn't enough, all of their players are model citizens who never bring anything good to the table as far as juicy news or gossip is concerned. Screw you Spurs. You're boring. You're thiefs. And I hope the Golden State Warriors whoop the crap out of you when the NBA playoffs finally come around. 



2. Denver Broncos


Like I mentioned earlier, I'm a Kansas City Chiefs fan. There is no NFL team that I hate more than John Elway and his stupid Denver Broncos. Watching them win the Super Bowl this last season was absolutely painful for me, especially after watching the Chiefs own the Broncos in the regular season. One can only hope that the Donkies are now headed for a Super Bowl "hang over" which results in years of high draft picks and 4-12 records. One can dream, right?



1. Los Angeles Lakers


Fuck the Lakers.
