Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling is the most hated man in America, according to a survey conducted by E-Score, via Reuters.

Sterling beat out the likes of NFL Hall of Famer O.J. Simpson, Conrad Murray, who was convicted of killing pop singer Michael Jackson, and Canadian singer Justin Bieber.

Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, who is charged with three murders in two separate cases, also made the top 10 of the list.

According to the survey, participants were given 46 attributes to choose from and asked to best describe Sterling. Forty-eight percent said he was "creepy," followed by cold (42%), mean (41%), and insincere (29%).

More than 1,100 people between the ages of 13-49 participated in the survey.
