There are always people/things/places you hate about sports. I love to quote Louis CK, so here we go again. "I started to hate people. I enjoy it–it’s recreation." "Oh, look at this piece of sh*&, I hate him - hate him!"
The only rules here are that the person or team or whatever must be sports related–in any way you like. How you relate it is up to you. Add your hates in the comment section. I’ll edit my article as I think of more. The less you explain your hatred the better. Go For It:

Oh, and since when was Jemele Hill an announcer? She's a writer. She doesn't announce anything.
Also, add Jay Mariotti to this list.
Oh and by the way, The San Diego Chicken would kick the Phillie Phanatic's ass.
from about 1 month ago
Since you decided to correct someone else, I'll get you too.
Erin Andrews is a sideline reporter. You probably didn't see the Celebrity Softball Game, but one of the players flat out asked her "you don't listen to the responses do you?" and she said.. "no". So not only is she a sideline reporter, she's a dumb blond who just slept her way up the ranks starting at the university of Florida. Ask the basketball team there.
Come to think of it, add Erin Andrews to my list.
from about 1 month ago
Who says not listening to the responses is a bad thing.
I don't even listen to her questions.

I haven't lived in Ohio for over a decade so I can't vouch for the obnoxiousness of Ohio State fans, but after living in Southern California for five years, Orange County 'SC bandwagon fans are by far the most insufferable bunch of goobers I've ever encountered.
about 1 month ago
Lots of good ones already here... hmm... I would have to revisit the list again to remember all, but I will say these: Michigan, Ohio State, Bandwagon Fans, Dallas Cowboys, Steven A. Smith, People who say it's "your team" when you write about them - even though you're just writing about them and they are not "your team", Idiot athletes who ruin their careers by getting into trouble with the law, Manny being Manny (you said it already, but it drives me nuts), opposing teams filling the home team's stands, and quite honestly, I could go on and on. If I think of more, I'll add more.

Noticing the post above me, I was reminded of something I hate on fox: That stupid football-robot guy. Its stupid and it needs to stop, as well as the digital images that depict a tv screen in some rediculous spot. "Oh my god, they put a tv in the middle of the stands!" Yeah. Right.
