What? She quit right in the middle of the Olympics!


She used to be extremely admired but she gave it a away with that stunt.

Seems kinda sad to think the person you'd most look up to is a guy who's playing an ultimately very trivial game and getting richly rewarded for doing so.

My guess is that for most of these, it’s going to be an athlete.

Houston probably used to be James Harden. Today maybe Verlander.

Tom Brady is hated in by a lot of people in Boston, remarkably. Read any comment section in a Globe or Boston.com article about him: He’s definitely no longer universally loved.


JFK is not alive.

He also has nutjobs against him, but does a nutjob's opinion count?
Off topic, but the nut jobs are in both sides of the spectrum. Anyone who thinks Gates’ intentions aren’t about self gains are as much of a nut job as the extreme you mentioned

You think donating most of your wealth is about "self gains"?!

Maybe it's for personal satisfaction. It's certainly not financial gains.

Hey, Brady belongs to us now… I mean, if it weren’t for him it would be between Hulk Hogan or Channing Tatum so we really need Tom Brady.
