Message: [QUOTE="intlzncster, post: 3280739, member: 56"] I didn't say it's the only reason teams are hated and liked, just the most powerful one. [LIST] [*][B]Jets[/B]: the reason they were voted there is because Pats and Giants fans happen to be two of the most engaged fanbases on the internet. And they both hate the Jets. I'm willing to bet that poll was 60% Pats fans]. [*][B]Warriors[/B]: who are you talking to? Draymond Green is one of the most hated players in the league. Durant is universally mocked as soft. Curry is considered an obnoxious prima donna. Nobody likes Boogie Cousins. Klay is universally loved because Klay is cool. [/LIST] Again, if the Pats weren't winning so much, they wouldn't be hated. Nobody would care. Most fans I talk to say, "I don't hate the Pats players. Just the team. The fans. The head coach." And yes some say the QB. But it's usually because he's ripped their hearts out. But you've also gotta take the Patriots in context. Modern day NFL is America's most popular sport, with the most passionate fans. It's built to be a meritocracy, where 'Dynasty's' are short lived. What the Patriots have done in today's day and age is patently absurd. It's just too much over too long a period for anyone not their fans. So people hate them for all sorts of reasons. They just got lucky with two of (if not THE) best to ever do it as QB/HC. But THIS is the main reason. It's simply not fair. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1569452829173.png"]46640[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
