NewbieJr 541 Posted April 6, 2006 Bonds will turn it around, he is the one of the best players ever and will get it going soon... Sometimes you just get a bad batch of Dianabol. He'll work it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phillybear 365 Posted April 6, 2006 My point is that if Barry was white, the venom spewed against him during the homerun chase would be cut in half. I'd argue that venom would be tripled. In today's society, some people are scared to ever accuse wrongdoing on anyone of another race due to the race card being played. And, of course, we see black people doing so, with a very recent example being the insane Congressman from Georgia this week. If Bonds were white, all races would feel free to blast him with no ramifications. Also, I believe political correctness is the devil. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GobbleDog 824 Posted April 6, 2006 I don't know a darn thing about baseball, but I heard that changes to SF Giants lineup this year will likely mean that pitchers will be more willing to walk Bonds than before because whoever bats behind him isn't as good as whoever batted behind him in past years. Is that right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crestwood 0 Posted April 6, 2006 Of all people in sports, Barry Bonds is second only to Iverson and perhaps TO with regard to hate earned... why lump iverson with these 2 clowns? iverson never cheated in basketball or isnt the destructive, me first psychopath that TO is. all he ever did was play lights out each and every night. oh i forgot, iverson has <gasp> cornrows and <gasp> tattoos. god forbid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is that right? A local sports talk show was speculating that it would be greta if his opponents just walked him virtually every time he came to the plate, other than say tie score bottom of the ninth bases loaded. He'd have maybe 17 official ABs, 1-2 HRs for the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Mr.T Posted April 7, 2006 The new term the politicians representing people of this color use is "Chocolate". Dark chocolate? White chocolate? Details, man! Also, Iverson came across as a punk earlier in his career but IMO has fairly matured. At least it sure seems that way to me. If I owned a basketball team I'd be more than happy to take him.

NewbieJr 541 Posted April 7, 2006 Can anyone remember an athlete who was more widely hated than Bonds? I mean, there have been guys that are hated by certain fans of certain teams because of rivalries (Eagles fans/ M. Irvin, for example) and guys who are are disliked because of them being assclowns (Owens, Moss, Kobe, ect), but I have never in all my life rooted for a guy to blow out his knee or get shot.

He probably is a liar and a cheater, but damn you people sure take sports too seriously. because newbie has seen 30 people hate barry on a messageboard, he thinks people want him to die. he has no idea how Hank Aaron when he was going to break Babe Ruth's record, was hated 10 times more than Barry Bonds is right now. The bleach from his frosted tips has made him think silly. he thinks nothing mattered before the year 1995, nothing counts. He knows all, he is a sports god.

Dude, I watched Aaron break Ruth's record. I have vitamins at home in my cabinet that are older than you. Where are you getting that 1995 thing? And Kareem Abdul- Jabbar? WTF are you talking about? There might be a regional hatred toward him from your perspective because of teh Celtics/Lakers rivalry, but he's not generally hated at all. No one hated Hank Aaron. There was a white-supremist way of thinking back then, and a handful of idiots would send him hate mail when he was threatebning the record, but it was not personal. It was white people threatening a black person. Period. It could have been any black guy. Bonds is hated both personally and because he's going to break a record. I think George Carlin may actually be dumber than Edjr. I would have never guessed it ws possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NewbieJr 541 Posted April 7, 2006 what difference does it make WHY they hated him? You asked who was the most hated athlete.Aaron was hated. Jackie Robinson was too. Way more so than Bonds. Aaron was very much hated by a small percentage of narrow-minded people. I would guess that less than 25% of Americans had a problem with Aaron. (i could be wrong..i was a child). I'm sure that those 25% were zealots who made his life miserable, though. If there was a poll, I bet that 75% of baseball fans either hate or dislike Bonds. Robinson is a good choice. I'm sure he was very much hated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
