L.A. Sports Stars Among The Most_Hated, Says Poll

Quick, name your five least-favorite sports stars. How many of them were based in Los Angeles? Two of them if you reflect a recent E-Poll survey that will soon be showing up in Forbes magazine that names Manny Ramirez as second on the least-favorite list, three spots ahead of the reigning Finals MVP Kobe Bean Bryant. Not surprisingly, Michael Vick was named number one on the list following his release from prison for funding a dog fighting club and taking part in actually killing several pit bulls, but Manny second? How can you hate him when he's just Manny being Manny? Anyway, the top ten are below along with the percentage of those surveyed who admitted they didn't like the sports star:

1. Michael Vick: 72%
2. Manny Ramirez: 57%
3. Alex Rodriguez: 53%
4. Terrell Owens: 45%
5. Kobe Bryant: 42%
6. Allen Iverson: 38%
7. Isiah Thomas: 36%
8. Stephon Marbury: 36%
9. Nick Saban: 35%
10. John McEnroe: 31%

So wait, Manny's more despised than Terrell Owens? The guy who pulled out the Sharpie and signed the football after scoring a touchdown? Seriously? Actually, I have to admit that I liked that little stunt. And A-Rod's up on this list? Personally, I'd have every single Boston Red Sox player ranked on this list ahead of A-Rod, but that's just me. And put the Sox way ahead of Kobe, too. I mean, Kobe almost carried team USA to a gold medal by himself last year, along with those other guys that made up the team. Maybe not, but admit it, Kobe was the best player on the team. But one notable exclusion from this list is Starving Students. That might be because we're not a sports star, but I'd actually like to think that it's because everyone loves to save money on their move while also getting the best move they've ever had.
