Sporting stars can often be loved or loathed, usually that verdict can be reached either way due to allegiances, success, actions away from their discipline or a combination of all of them.

An interesting inclusion so high up on the list, but his own fans appear to dislike him given his baseballing ability not living up to the contract he was given by the Phillies.

9. Lance Armstrong

AUSTIN, TX - JANUARY 14: In this handout photo provided by the Oprah Winfrey Network, Oprah Winfrey (not pictured) speaks with Lance Armstrong during an interview regarding the controversy surrounding his cycling career January 14, 2013 in Austin, Texas.

Lance Armstrong needs no introduction, one of the most infamous cases of doping and cheating in sport was exposed when his actions came to light, many people would have the former cyclist at the top of their list.

8. Michael Vick

This is an example of what someone has done away from the sport, Michael Vick spent 21 months in federal prison after he pleaded guilty to being involved in a dog fighting ring.

7. Peyton Manning

NFL is one of the biggest sports in the world, pulling in huge viewing numbers and support in America. Peyton Manning and Tom Brady are pitted head-to-head for GOAT status, with the debate leading to fans of one disliking the other.

6. Kurt Busch

TALLADEGA, AL - OCTOBER 07: Kurt Busch, driver of the #51 Phoenix Construction Chevrolet, talks to the media after an incident during the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Good Sam Roadside Assistance 500 at Talladega Superspeedway on October 7, 2012 in Talladega, Alabama.

One half of the NASCAR’s Busch brothers, Kurt is hated by fans for his fiery temperament, he apparently has threatened to punch people during interviews… Sounds like a pleasant chap.

5. Kobe Bryant

For many NBA fans, Kobe Bryant was the reason why their team didn’t win as much given his ability on court, taking the Lakers and Bulls to titles, so people disliking him is no shock. However, the infamous ‘Case from Colorado’ will always mar his reputation, whether you believed him or not.

4. Kyle Busch

Kyle Busch joins his brother in the top 10 and is clearly despised by NASCAR fans, with a list of 18 reasons why he is hated being put together, it’s not pretty viewing for his fans or himself for that matter.

3. Tiger Woods

Golf star Tiger Woods

I don’t think many people will be shocked to see Tiger Woods on this list, despite being the best golfer to ever take to the course, his life away from golf has constantly been in the media, but for all the wrong reasons.

2. Floyd Mayweather

‘Money’ being hated is no surprise given his obscene ability in the ring, going unbeaten at 50-0 in his career, the cocky American was despised for his lack of respect for his opponents and unwavering  arrogance.

1. LeBron James

Again, his success can often be a big factor in people’s hatred for him, but like Mayweather, LeBron James’ arrogance in his own ability has led to him alienating the public, not to mention his lack of loyalty to Cleveland.
