Why do people hate Alex Rodriguez?
Because he's overrated? Nope.
Because he can’t win the big one? See Mattingly, Donald A.
Too “pretty” for New York? See Jeter, Derek.
No, it’s none of those things. People hate Arod for one reason and one reason alone: jealousy.
Yes, that’s right: jealousy. Pure, unadulterated envy.
Surely, there are a thousand subcategories here, but they all fit under one great big umbrella: we’re all jealous of Arod.
Whether it’s the quarter-billion dollar contract which he opted out of (uuh, no thanks, I’ll leave that cash on the table, because I’ll get more somewhere else) to his poster boy, perfect for endorsements looks, to his seemingly perfect life, who wouldn’t want to be Alex Rodriguez?
Ok, maybe Jeter would pass, but anyone else would love to live a day in Arod’s shoes.
And you know what? Arod knows it.
He knows how good he’s got it. He knows how lucky he is. And he loves it. And we hate him for it.
There’s been lots of talk in the past few days about his “polarizing” influence in the Yankee locker room, his “phony” personality, and his friendship with Warren Buffett, the world’s third richest man.
We're going to send you the most entertaining New York Yankees articles, videos, and podcasts from around the web.
