Michael Vick may be almost a year out of the big house, but for many sports fans he’s still in the dog house. It seems to me something is not right about this list The AJC is reporting for the second year in a row, Vick was rated the most hated man in sports, according an annual Forbes magazine poll.

The survey, conducted through E-poll Market Research, asked 1,100 people over the age of 13 to rate newsworthy athletes. Vick topped the list that included five NFL figures among the 10 most-hated people in sports. He was disliked by 69 percent of respondents.

Vick spent 21 months in jail after admitting to the involvement of dog fighting. He was let go from the Atlanta Falcons shortly after release from prison. He now is a backup for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Al Davis, owner of the Oakland Raiders, took home second place on the list with a 66 percent disapproval rating. Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Rothlisberger, who was embroiled in a sexual assault investigation this spring in Milledgeville, ranked third with a 57 percent rating.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was tied for fourth with Tiger Woods, with 53 percent of respondents saying they disliked him.

    Well they must have only asked idiots because I don’t know anyone that hates him. You have a man that has been accused of rape multiple times yet he still has no issues… this man fought dogs… and even worse than that… the same people that feel so bad for the “poor dogs” are the same ones saying that pit bulls are vicious and need to all be put to sleep. Yet at your convenience… they are so special…. STFU… Mike I love to watch u play. I love animals and I still don’t give a dam about any of that nonsense… It seems like they just hate all of the black athletes… too funny…

    I disagree. This man has paid the price for being stupid. He has apoligized and did his time in the slammer, so let the man get on with his life. He didn’t rape or kill anyone. My vote is for KOBE.
