10 Most Unpopular Athletes
Newser ^ | 02/06/2013 | By John Johnson,

Posted on 02/07/2013 11:20:30 AM PST by Responsibility2nd

(Newser) – The new Nielsen/E-Poll survey of the most disliked athletes in America has the not-so-surprising name of Lance Armstrong at the top of the list, reports Forbes. More surprising is that Notre Dame star and soon-to-be-NFL'er Manti Te'o tied Armstrong with a measly 15% approval rating. Even if he was a hoax victim, Teo's fake girlfriend saga has taken a toll on his image.

More details on the unlucky 10 here.

This picture, and the one of him throwing the first pitch at a baseball game, demonstrate that he is most certainly NOT an athlete.

Despite his talent, watch Te’o go undrafted. Or at best be a 7th round pick by the Raiders. The NFL has less tolerance for head cases than it used to.

Give Te'o a break - his girlfriend just died.

...and we should care about this list because..??

How ‘bout you tell us why you care about this list - evidenced by your reading and commenting.

For me, I read it because I assumed Ray Lewis was in the top 10, and I’m a Baltimorean but also a mandolinguy.

Romo is actually fairly likable, he just can’t win the big game.

He can’t win the medium sized games that get him to the big game.

Interesting double entendre, but one variant of the entendre lacks in credibility, kind sir.

Kind sir, 9 years around, time to get with the program, one rule of which demands humorous uses of commonly known frequent illiterate misspellings.
