Nahom: Removed Tiger Woods from the list

[[File:Peyton Manning.jpg|thumb|Peyton Manning]]
The [[lamestream media]] like to promote athletes based not on skill, but for [[liberal]] reasons. Here are the most overrated sports stars (none are among the [[Essay:Greatest Conservative Sports Stars|Greatest Conservative Sports Stars]]).<ref>This list includes 25% of those on [[liberal]] [[ESPN]]'s list of the top 20 athletes of the last 20 years: [http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/03/20/espn-ranks-peyton-manning-no-4-tom-brady-no-20-in-its-top-20-athletes-list/]</ref> Three on this list—Lance Armstrong, Tom Brady and Tiger Woods—have been punished for cheating.

#[[Andre Agassi]] — his rival [[Pete Sampras]] was far better,<ref>Sampras defeated Agassi four out of the five times they met in Grand Slam finals. Overall, Sampras won 20 out of his 34 matches against Agassi. [http://www.espn.co.uk/tennis/sport/story/295861.html]</ref> but Sampras is [[conservative]]. Agassi is a big donor to [[Democrat]] politicians.
#[[Lance Armstrong]] — favored by the [[liberal media]] because he publicly denied belief in [[God]], he pulled off perhaps the biggest scam in the history of sports by "winning" the [[Tour-de-France]] seven times with what has been described as [http://cyclinginvestigation.usada.org/# "the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen."] See also: [[Irreligion and unsportsmanlike conduct]]
#[[David Beckham]] — retired early to the American MLS league and then became a benchwarmer in the French League. His own [[British]] [[2012 Summer Olympics]] team did not even want him; his real skill seems to be in catering to the [[liberal media]].
#[[Tom Brady]] — probably the biggest sissy ever to play in the NFL, Brady gives up yardage rather than be tackled, and even ducks playing in Pro Bowl games.<ref>https://sports.yahoo.com/tom-brady-pro-bowl-experience-112236350.html</ref><ref>It should be noted that if a team appears in the Super Bowl, Pro Bowl players for that team do not participate in the Pro Bowl game -- played one week prior -- to avoid injuries that could affect the game's outcome.</ref> On any team other than the Patriots, which is built around his weaknesses, Brady has played relatively poorly, such as when he did play in Pro Bowl games. He apparently required team staff to cheat by underinflating footballs for him for years, until finally caught in the 2015 AFC Championship game and suspended at length for it.<ref>Brady refused to apologize for his cheating and instead destroyed evidence.</ref> Brady has a relatively weak throwing arm, zero running speed, and requires tremendous pass protection to play well. The [[liberal media]] covers for him because his [[liberal]], foreign-born wife is [[Anti-Trump]] and bosses Brady around.
#[[Kobe Bryant]] — was an overhyped bust at the [[2012 Summer Olympics]]; didn't won a single title without super-coaching by Phil Jackson, who observed that Bryant is not on the high level of [[Michael Jordan]]; Bryant's Lakers were pathetic in 2012-2013 while he was playing.
#Jason Collins — saw constant media coverage over him for being a homosexual even though he isn't even that good at basketball.
#Jim Harbaugh — out-coached to lose the [[Super Bowl]] in 2013, Harbaugh was next paid a massive multimillion-dollar contract to coach in college, where he led his Michigan team to a pathetically weak 5-2 start, yet the media continue to promote him with absurd stories like "5 Ways Jim Harbaugh Inspires His Team."<ref>[https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnbaldoni/2015/10/24/5-ways-jim-harbaugh-inspires-his-team/ Forbes story]</ref>
#[[LeBron James]] — over-promoted by the media to an absurd extent. [[LeBron James]] is arguably the current best NBA player but overrated compared to outspoken Christian star [[Steph Curry]] and another Christian star, [[Kevin Durant]]. LeBron has sometimes even underachieved in key playoff games. He helped Miami win two titles and helped Cleveland win a come-from-behind title in 2016, but again received absurd over-hype, such as the media claiming he is "superhuman". In Finals appearances he is a mere 3-5 (even if he were to appear in and win the next two titles, he would be far behind Bill Russell, who appeared in 10 consecutive Finals and won nine of those, en route to 10 titles in 12 overall Finals appearances).
#[[Magic Johnson]] — lucky enough to play on [[Kareem Abdul-Jabbar]]'s Lakers to win some titles, but was crushed by [[Michael Jordan]] and the Bulls; no problem, Magic was a critic of President [[George H.W. Bush]], which thrilled liberals.
#*People look at him, and say, 'Hey, it's OK to get HIV because I'm living with it.' That is the wrong message. [https://www.cbsnews.com/8301-500202_162-57319698/20-years-since-magic-johnsons-hiv-stunner/]
#Colin Kaepernick — Quarterback Alex Smith did most of the dirty work giving the 49ers a good enough record to make it to the playoffs after Smith was injured Kaepernick was named the starter, but they lost the Super Bowl. Following Smith's release, the 49ers have struggled while Smith's new team, The Kansas City Chiefs have done well (though they ultimately let Smith go for Patrick Mahomes, who won the 2018 AFC MVP). Liberals protect him because he is likely a [[communist]].<ref>https://www.upi.com/Sports_News/NFL/2016/11/27/Colin-Kaepernick-praises-good-things-done-by-communist-Fidel-Castro/9581480294777/</ref> His main accomplishment is to coerce the NFL into a multimillion-dollar "settlement" claiming "collusion" by the NFL for not hiring him due to his anti-anthem protests (he was offered a contract in the Alliance of American Football, an NFL-sponsored minor league, but refused it wanting a minimum $20 million guaranteed contract).
#Ryan Lochte — has not won an individual [[Olympic]] medal in 6 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>
#[[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>
#Phil Mickelson — a golfer who has not won a major tournament in five years, and yet is chosen to compete for $9 million against another golfer who has not won a major tournament in ten years ([[Tiger Woods]]). For example, "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, an expert observed.<ref>https://golfweek.com/2018/10/12/phil-mickelson-should-have-taken-name-out-of-ryder-cup-hat-monty-says/</ref> Mickelson lavishly praises Woods.
#[[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.]]
#[[Ben Roethlisberger]] - he only won the Super Bowl twice, which isn't that many times, considering the team he's on has won six Super Bowl rings. Despite this, there is more hype about him then there really needs to be, in similar ways to Tom Brady.
#[[Cristiano Ronaldo]] - his spectacular talents have been ruined by his self-obsession, vanity, and cravings of celebrity. He is now officially "sad", despite being one of the luckiest men alive. His [[Portugal]] team was eliminated by [[Uruguay]] from the [[World Cup]] 2018, and Ronaldo's behavior towards officials was so disgraceful that it marred the tournament, as captured by photos.<ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-5907073/We-wont-miss-behave-like-Cristiano-Ronaldo.html</ref>
#Wayne Rooney - burst onto the scene as a 16-year-old and called "The English [[Pele|Pelé]]." 10 years on and he has still failed to fulfill his potential, especially at international level, and still behaves like a childish and immature 16-year-old.
#Ronda Rousey — A bully and a jerk. She threatened to beat up Justin Bieber (who has absolutely no martial arts experience) over childish nonsense. She's only really famous because of her sex appeal & supporting [[Bernie Sanders]].<ref>http://www.maxim.com/entertainment/ronda-rousey-bernie-sanders-president-2015-11</ref> Ironically she was beaten by Holly Holm (who is supporting Trump<ref>https://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/celebrities-who-support-donald-trump/16/</ref> and has predictably not received any media attention<ref>However, Holm is not helped by the lack of female MMA name fighters; the only one of note -- Cyborg -- has routinely tested positive for performance enhancing drugs.</ref>). Now "competes" in World Wrestling Entertainment, which is scripted "sports entertainment".
#Michael Sam — was heavily promoted by the media for being a homosexual despite not being a first-round draft pick and getting cut from the Rams before the start of the season.
#Mark Sanchez — while playing quarterback for the [[New York Jets]] he was touted as the team's best QB over [[conservative]] [[Christian]] [[Tim Tebow]], despite Sanchez falling apart at the end of the 2011–12 season and continuing to perform poorly in the 2012-2013 season. When Tebow came to the Jets, [[liberals]] championed the former [[USC]] star Sanchez as the superior player despite his mediocre play throughout his career. As a result, Tebow was forced out of the Jets team and released at the end of the 2012-13 season.
#Ndamukong Suh - he intentionally hurts various NFL players so that they may not play football ever again. He also really isn't near as good as people hype him up to be, considering two out of the three seasons he was with the [[Miami Dolphins]], they went 6-10. He also only made the playoffs two out of the five seasons with the [[Detroit Lions]].

Professional wrestling

Nahom:

'''Professional wrestling''' is a [[violence|violent]] form of [[entertainment]], in which entertainers appear to be having an athletic contest. In actuality, they are performing a script, and the bout nearly always reaches an agreed-upon outcome. It is not a real contest in the manner of [[sport]]s such as [[boxing]] or amateur [[wrestling]], but many bouts take a gruelling toll on the participants' bodies nonetheless.

For most of the twentieth century, professional wrestling was portrayed to the viewing public as 'real', often despite featuring laughably outlandish characters and obvious fakery; in this form it could at one point be seen as [[deceit]]ful and thus inconsistent with [[Christian]] [[values]]. However, in the present day professional wrestling is more honest about being scripted and the overwhelming majority of fans understand that it is, but still watch in appreciation of the entertainment value, athletic prowess and sometimes [[humor]] on display.
==History==

Professional wrestling got its start on the county fair circuits, where collegiate wrestlers used to put on fights for paying audiences. Eventually, the trade began to develop into a profitable business. With stars now worth millions of dollars, the violence and danger was slowly replaced with theatrical combat, allowing wrestlers to appear multiple times a day and perform several times a week without suffering serious injury.

In the 21st century, the sport divided into traditional wrestling, which imposed certain rules regarding the use of closed fists and elbows and, [[mixed martial arts]] (MMA), which was a form of "no holds barred" wrestling combined with boxing and kick boxing. Both forms are regulated by the same state commissions. However, the public assumes that MMA matches are not fake. MMA is broadcast on the [[Fox Network]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mmajunkie.com/news/2012/12/ufc-on-fox-5-ratings-overnight-numbers-show-3-41-million-viewers|title=UFC on FOX 5 ratings: Overnight numbers show 3.41 million viewers|date=December 9, 2012|accessdate=December 29, 2012}}</ref> while professional wrestling is broadcast on [[NBC]] and [[ION Television]]. The largest professional wrestling promotion has been the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). WWE has sought respectibility since 2003 by sponsoring an annual "Tribute to the Troop" performance at a military base which is also broadcast on television. Mainstream media figures, such as [[Katie Couric]], the Muppets,<ref>http://www.wwe.com/shows/tributetothetroops/2012/the-muppets-hang-out-with-superstars-and-divas-photos</ref> and President Obama<ref>http://www.wwe.com/videos/president-obama-addresses-the-wwe-universe-26078867</ref> made cameo appearances on the 2012 show to lend credibility to what would otherwise appear to be fake performances. Conservative Governor [[Robert McDonnell]] also appeared on the program but distanced himself by telling the troops "to laugh with the WWE."<ref>http://www.wwe.com/videos/virginia-governor-bob-mcdonnell-talks-about-the-troops-26077001</ref>
