NASCAR drivers included on list of 50 most hated sports figures

By Mike Smith · September 5, 2008 · 2:09 PM

AOL Sports has come up with a list of what it considers to be the 50 most hated sports figures. Two NASCAR drivers, Tony Stewart and Kyle Busch, have made the list.

After viewing AOL’s roster of sports figures, I found myself wondering if Busch and Stewart deserve to be included with the likes of athletes like Adam “Pacman” Jones and Barry Bonds. Maybe I’m being too protective of my favorite sport, but I’m not sure the antics of these two NASCAR drivers are on the same level of bad behavior exhibited by others on the list.

    I'm surprised that Jeff Gordon didn't make the list. :)

    I agree Mike. They may be whiners....but hated? Hmmm.
