  • groof, on 10/18/2009, -1/+10Can we as Diggers agree to never post Forbes.com articles ever again?
  • tommy0486, on 10/18/2009, -0/+6Burried for being a stupid survey of 1000 people.
  • rdldr1, on 10/18/2009, -1/+7Who the ***** is Ty Murray?
  • SooperSonic, on 10/17/2009, -2/+7Don't forget Ray Allen:

  • Enderplayer1, on 10/18/2009, -1/+5I'm surprise not to see Albert Pujols on that list.
  • painting, on 10/18/2009, -2/+6where is Steve Nash? that guy is amazing.
  • spookyttws, on 10/18/2009, -0/+3I'd be amused to see a list of the most hated. Though I can't imagine Micheal Vick and OJ Simspons being huge surprises.
  • clintonbaptiste, on 10/18/2009, -0/+311. Allison Stokke
  • longbraker, on 10/18/2009, -1/+4How is Peyton Manning not on this list?
  • enigma985, on 10/19/2009, -0/+2Peyton Manning didn't make the list?
  • pfennigweise, on 10/18/2009, -0/+2Yea this article is retarded, Ty Murray? Wtf? Honestly, how the hell do you rate media attention in percentages, ***** stupid
  • Arramol, on 10/18/2009, -0/+2Least liked: Alex Rodriguez.
  • mlvassallo, on 10/18/2009, -2/+4I ***** hate Kurt Warner.
  • bdbr, on 10/18/2009, -0/+2When Forbes runs lists of sports figures, its clear that we give too much credit to these guys. Eight of 13 Nobel prizes this year were awarded to Americans, and most Americans probably have no idea of that (other than the one given to Obama). And Americans wonder why their kids aren't excited about school (other than sports).
  • brownsound00, on 10/18/2009, -0/+2# 9
  • AmericanGunner, on 10/18/2009, -0/+1Spoilers.
  • inactive, on 10/18/2009, -1/+2The list never said anything about all time, douche bag.
  • ElAmo, on 10/18/2009, -2/+3robin roberts? ty murray?

    never heard of them.
  • JKiddFan, on 10/20/2009, -0/+1glad larry fitzgerald made it on there...always good to see a absolute star who plays the game the right way with no complaints
  • Jenle7498, on 10/18/2009, -0/+1Don't you know, he was on 'Dancing with the Stars'!!! Jeez!!!
  • Coolkidchris, on 10/18/2009, -0/+1Steve Young is one my all time favorite players, but last I checked he's retired. And if we're gonna include retired players, this list should be filled with the likes roberto clemente and jackie robinson.
  • Kenyard, on 10/19/2009, -0/+1How is it possible that 45% of people dislike Tiger Woods?? That guy is a classy *****. How could you hate him?!
  • ChiKoo, on 10/18/2009, -1/+2really? tim duncan?
  • enozten, on 10/18/2009, -0/+1chris paul is kinda a douchebag in real life
  • Blucuzzin, on 10/19/2009, -0/+1I HATE TIM DUNCAN
  • valetudomexican, on 10/18/2009, -1/+1Barry Sanders.
  • AdamOKane, on 10/18/2009, -1/+1exactly.
  • jimboredford, on 10/18/2009, -1/+1Seems as though people forget about Chris Paul punching Julius Hodge in the balls. I have hated him ever since. One of the most bush league plays you'll ever see.

  • Chineseyes, on 10/18/2009, -1/+0Yes if Carlton Banks went out tugging on peoples nuts in the middle of games.
  • JoeNaguib, on 10/18/2009, -2/+1No OJ eh?
  • jedinate, on 10/18/2009, -5/+4I haven't liked Kurt Warner since he said "The Best team didn't win" after losing to the Patriots in the SB XXXVI. Man up and admit you lost, crybaby.
  • Linkin4, on 10/18/2009, -3/+1Dwayne Wade
  • shaelen, on 10/18/2009, -4/+1I don't understand the negative of any of this.

    Mmmkay.
