1)
Pelé
“Is soccer actually considered a sport?”
“He played during an era where defenders had respect for there opponents and wouldn’t resort to cheap tactics like they did in Maradona’s time. He also never played in the European domestic leagues.”
“definitely... this guy is extremely jelous of Maradona’s popularity among football fans all over the world... always coming to hide under the protection of the all mighty and all corrupted FIFA organization”
“he SUCKS! doesn’t do anything with LA Galaxy and also sucked with Real MAdrid”
“Beckham is more like an adult movie star than a futbol player.”
“OLD!”

Michelle Wie
“what a LOSER”
“she stinks on ice”
“... has never won a professional tournament.”
4)
Shaquille O’Neal
“I used to be fan of Shaq, but call it being a child and not knowing anything... because I don’t know why I ever liked Shag. No wonder he does those Ice/Heat wraps, they prob. sponser a whole body suit for him with those wraps. Considering more than most the time he’s never playing because "he has a injury". Yea right... he’s just a big wimp.”
“Shaq Daddy is a 7’1", 325 pound dunk machine. In the paint he is an absolute beast, but outside of seven feet he is all but worthless. We all know of his free throw woes over the years. And don’t tell me about how big his hands are compared to the ball. All NBA players have large hands. Shaq has hit less then 3 game winning shots in his career and can’t shoot free throws. So in a close game in the fourth quarter he is more of a liability then an asset. He has never won a championship without a superstar guard to compliment his game.”

Ronildinho
“True, what has this guy accomlplished on his own so fer??”
“So over-rated. Does not deserve the "greatest ever" praise he gets”
6)
Mike Tyson
“Great puncher, yes. Great boxer, no. Tyson wouldn’t have stood a chance against the best boxers in their prime.”
“WAY OVERRATED!!!”
“over rated.”

Joe Namath
“173 TD passes, 220 INTs, completion percentage of 50.1%. Hardly the career stat line of a football legend.”
“Guarantee In Super Bowl 3 and all of a sudden he’s a Hall Of Famer!?”
“those stats prove it”
8)
Terrell Owens
“he needs to get his pop corn ready. and watch some football for real.”
“Terrel Owens is a good receiver, but if the quarterback makes a mistake he gets slappedin the face by T.O.”
“Nothing but team destructive drama!”
9)
Babe Ruth
“Let’s be honest here. The Babe played in a time when baseball was in its infancy and many of the best athletes weren’t allowed in the league. Today, Ruth would be stuck working as a DH in the minors.”
“He shouldnt get all the glory he does
Srry white people but thats all that played durin Ruth time
IF they allowed every1 to play Latino’s, and Blacks
Ruth wouldn’t have been great
plus every1 sucked back than”
“ruth was a fat drunk who couldnt even see his feet...hes the alltime strikeout leader...thats all...thats all...and in a time when minorities couldnt play cause MLB was racist”

Emmitt Smith
“Good runner, great offensive line. Most running backs would be happy to line up behind four different pro bowl linemen in a career but in the 1995 Super Bowl Emmitt had four pro bowlers in front of him at once. And that doesn’t count the pro bowl full back blowing up the holes, the pro bowl tight end drawing the attention of the linebackers, or the pro bowl quarterback and wide receiver keeping the secondary honest. Half the backs in the league would have put up hall of fame numbers in a setup like that.”
“Barry Sanders would have had 3,000 yrds every season on that team.”
“I agree, Smith is one of the most overated backs ever. So what he has the rushing record,4 pro bowl offensive lineman every year, and he was slowwww”
