Line 16: − #Phil Mickelson — a golfer who has not won a major tournament in five years and whose greatest talent seems to be to lavishly praise Tiger Woods. Mickelson was chosen to compete in a much-criticized one-on-one match for $9 million against [[Tiger Woods]] (a pay-per-view event with such low ratings that the promoters gave refunds to purchasers). As to the Ryder Cup, an expert observed that "Phil Mickelson should have withdrawn his name from Ryder Cup consideration rather than taking part in a losing effort at Le Golf National last month" in 2018.<ref>https://golfweek.com/2018/10/12/phil-mickelson-should-have-taken-name-out-of-ryder-cup-hat-monty-says/</ref>
trim Mickelson for now, as he became the oldest to win a major at age 50 and he's leading the exciting [new [LIV]] tour
#Ryan Lochte — has not won an individual [[Olympic]] medal in 5 years, but still grabs headlines for bad behavior. Suspended twice, first for tainting the 2016 Summer Olympics by disparaging its host with his false allegations about having been supposedly stopped in a taxicab and robbed at gunpoint when in fact he had vandalized a local gas station, and then in 2018 for violating a ban against intravenous infusions. Even his friendly fellow swimmers "expressed no sympathy for his situation" after his second suspension.<ref>https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/columnist/martin-rogers/2018/07/24/ryan-lochte-case-doesnt-bring-sympathy-fellow-swimmers/830312002/</ref> Lochte failed by a wide margin to qualify for any spot on the Olympic team in 2021.<ref>https://www.sportskeeda.com/swimming/news-ryan-lochte-fails-qualify-tokyo-olympics-lilly-king-ryna-murphy-us-olympic-swimming-trials</ref>

#[[Peyton Manning]] — a [[quarterback]] who won only two [[NFL]] championships in 17 seasons, on teams that carried him to victory with overpowering defenses; the media unjustifiably hyped Manning as one of the best ever and gave him numerous regular season honors. The [[liberal media]] treated him like the Second Coming of [[Christ]] in order to oust [[conservative]] [[Tim Tebow]] from his leadership position in the [[swing state]] of [[Colorado]] prior to the [[Presidential Election 2012]]. After replacing Tebow, Manning eventually caused a humiliatingly early exit for the Broncos from the 2013 playoffs by throwing two big interceptions and was even worse in a humiliating [[Super Bowl]] loss in 2014 and a first-round playoff loss in 2015. Called "a choke artist in the playoffs" for his many upset losses in the big games.<ref>https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1482869-denver-broncos-is-peyton-manning-a-playoff-choke-artist</ref>

#[[Steve Nash]] — an [http://www.brightsideofthesun.com/2009/3/25/809516/steve-nash-on-media-bias-t outspoken liberal who supported Obama], Nash was chosen ''twice'' by the [[lamestream media]] as the [[NBA]] MVP despite never leading his team to even an NBA Finals. Even worse, the former coach of Nash was then hired by the Lakers in late 2012, rather than a far better coach who was available.

#[[Danica Patrick]] - won only a single race in the Indy Car series, and never won a race in either the NASCAR Sprint Cup or Nationwide series, finishing no higher than fourth, although ESPN promoted her first and foremost when showing highlights of the NASCAR races in which she participated. The [[lamestream media]] adores her for her participation in controversial GoDaddy television advertisements.[[File:C Ronaldo.jpg|thumb|200px|Cristiano Ronaldo.]]
