Who do you hate?

When I was a kid I hated. Cowboys and Raiders. The two teams that ended Miami’s opportunities to win Super Bowls in 71 and 74.

49ers went from my 2nd favorite team to least favorite in 84.

I have hated how this franchise has been run for the better part of two decades along with their decisions on QBs.

I don’t hate Gase, but I do hate that his first name is Adam.

Now that you mention it (indirectly) I don't like teams with Silver Helmets, i.e. Cowboys, Raiders & Lions.

Maybe just me but "hate" is one of those words (like "faith" and "love") that have been so abused they no longer convey legit meaning.
I don't like it when folks use words against their will! It's not good. And it destroys our language. Please stop!

I use the word "Lemming" to describe the self described "haters" on this form.

It gives me much more satisfaction to qualify them as a "what" as opposed to a "vacuous over emotional dimwit" and it takes less time and effort to write it - LOL
 
Dave Wannstedt for running Ricky Williams into the ground and killing his career. Ricky had two consecutive seasons of just under 400 carries. He didn't like pain meds and found more effective relief dealing with all the pounding he took with marijuana. (You could include everyone in league management that advocated for penalties on positive THC tests, but in the early 2000's that was a given it would be illegal. Different times)

You could give Dave a pass that Fielder, Feeley, and Rosenfels were set to be our QB's going into 2004, if he hadn't also in charge of player personnel since 2000. Ricky already knew he was going to be asked to run the ball 400 times with that cast, and retired after he tested positive in training camp.

"I led the NFL in attempts the past two years and they really didn't go out and get a quarterback to help me, so I knew it's going to be all on me again,"

"I could see my mortality as a football player, that I'm not going to be able to do this much longer. It just became obvious to me that playing football for me is not going to be fun, not something I'm going to enjoy and it's time for me to do something different."

The narrative turned into Ricky was a pot head that quit on his team. But the reality is he was a man dealing with some pre-existing mental health issues, an illogical ban on a substance that helps deal with pain, and a coach that was willing to sacrifice his best player's health to save his job.

It's a little too complicated to pin it 100% on Dave, but I just hate how that entire situation went down for Ricky.

I am not qualified or certified to diagnose someone, but I don’t let that stop me.

Resentment for not being born with a silver spoon in your mouth?

I don’t know if I’d go as far as to call Baltimore dirty but they most definitely toe the line or at least they did back when you could get really physical on defense. The league has changed so much now but yes I can’t stand Baltimore. Besides the ‘07 win against them that saved us from going 0fer I seriously can’t think of a single time we’ve beaten them since they became the Baltimore franchise. Like you said they don’t just beat us they get super physical and just whip our ***.

We beat them once with Ricky. Iirc we went up 2 TD's and went for the two but got stuffed because they were pissed we went for two. 26-14 I think.
 
Jets are my least favorite team in sports. As an Ohio State alumni, I obviously hate that school up north.
 
NFL:

* Any team unbeaten into November
* Rules changes favoring the passing game, especially the ones post 2004
* Motion Sickness logo
* Leaving the Orange Bowl followed by demise of the Orange Bowl

Otherwise the Gators are easily my most despised entity in any sport or endeavor. I'm still rooting for Nebraska to score again. I have no problem attending golf tournaments and following Gator products simply to root against them. That's particularly enjoyable with Billy Horschel because he's such a hothead. I'll never forget a round at Doral circa 2015 when Horschel was playing awful and mumbling to his caddie between every green and tee box, "I hate this course."

Olympic swimming is the problem area because so many Gators are strong there, like Caleb Dressel right now.

I hate college football overtime

I hate cats. And cheese, other than mozzarella on pizza. I can tolerate that if I ask for light cheese. Day to day those are the two standouts. I rotate frequently on which one I hate more. Situational influence. I didn't care about cats so much in Las Vegas because they seldom occupied the sportsbooks. Now in suburban Miami I deal with their feral worthlessness every day. Fortunately Havahart makes some fun products.

As a kid I had to ask to exclude cheese on only a handful of items. Now it's virtually everything. Global cheese conspiracy. I literally leave the room upon parmesan, never to return. My friends from Las Vegas still laugh at the time I ordered a gorgeous mushroom pizza at Imperial Palace, only to have our friend Milo ask if he could have a piece. "Sure." Milo proceeded to dump parmesan all over the pizza, as I watched in shocked horror. The various descriptions of my reaction are all vivid and accurate, 15 years and counting.

There are standout entries in other realms but I'll leave it alone
 
Jets most. Their low class fans are a large part of the reason why. Pats next, largely due to their bandwagon fans, and the rule bending/cheating that Belichick does. I don't really hate the Bills that much.
 
The Eagles, every other team's logo is centered or facing right, EXCEPT THE ****ING EAGLES, they are looking backwards. **** them and their left facing logo
