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

(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.

I’ve seen “hugh” and “series” used in this fashion, but using “looser” is a new one for me.

LOOSER: Comparative of "Loose", i.e. "I like my shoes looser and not tighter."

LOSER: One who loses often or is a disreputable person, i.e. "He was found innocent of criminal charges but eventually was found liable in civil court, and was later convicted on unrelated charges in the state of Nevada because in post-NFL life he turned out to be a loser."

I chose ‘looser’ on purpose. Its part of the FR lexicon.

Barry Bonds isn’t on the list? Arrogant SOB was hated even before he roided up to look like a circus sideshow act. And it wasn’t because he is black, Al.
