The 10 Most Disliked Athletes

Michael Vick

Vick has successfully resuscitated his NFL career since serving a prison sentence for felony dog fighting, but he still has a ways to go when it comes to reviving his reputation. The Eagles quarterback placed first on Forbes' overall list of most-disliked athletes with a score of 60 percent disliked. Here are the other who made the Forbes' list.

Tiger Woods

Famous for his skill on the course and notorious for his philandering ways off it, Woods tied Vick with a score of 60 percent disliked. He placed second because he had fewer "dislike a lot" responses than Vick.

Plaxico Burress

The Jets wide receiver placed third on the list in his first year out of prison, scoring a 56 percent dislike rate among those polled. He spent nearly two years in prison following an incident in which he shot himself in the leg at a New York nightclub.

Ndamukong Suh

Just four months ago, Suh led a Forbes poll of the most-liked players in the NFL with an appeal score of 71 percent. Now he's the fourth-most disliked athlete in the country. That two-game suspension for stomping on Packers offensive lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith during a Thanksgiving game probably didn't help.

Kris Humphries

Kim Kardashian's ex-husband went from little-known to little-liked following his 72-day marriage to the reality TV star. He clocked in at fifth on the list with a score of 50 percent disliked.

LeBron James

The Heat star gives a cold feeling to many Americans; James placed sixth on Forbes' list with a 48 percent dislike rate.

Kobe Bryant

The Lakers guard was the leading Western Conference vote-getter for the 2012 All-Star game, but still came in seventh on the Forbes' list with a 45 percent dislike rate.

Terrell Owens

He didn't play a down in 2011, but T.O. somehow managed to stay on this list, coming in as the eighth most-disliked athlete in the country with a 45 percent dislike rate.

Alex Rodriguez

The Yankee third baseman placed ninth with a 44 percent dislike rating.

Kurt Busch

The only NASCAR driver on the list, Busch rounds out the top-10 with a 42 percent dislike rate, likely stemming from the rants that got him dropped from his racing team last season.
