The [[lamestream media]] like to promote athletes based not on skill, but for [[liberal]] reasons.  Another reason that many athletes are ignored by the lamestream media is that they're female because female athletes, tennis players apart, are generally paid less and receive much less publicity than male athletes.  Here's a growing list of the most '''''underrated''''' sports stars:

The lamestream media like to promote athletes based not on skill, but for liberal reasons. Here's a growing list of the most underrated sports stars:

Athlete Achievement Possible reasons for being underrated
Tim Duncan Led an average team to five NBA Championships, without supercoach Phil Jackson played in conservative Texas, while the liberal media overpromoted liberals like Kobe Bryant
Serena Williams The finest women's athlete of all-time and likely to break the record for the most grand slam victories in women's tennis despite playing in a highly competitive era a devout Christian
Stan Musial Seven batting titles, three championships, and overall statistics better than nearly everyone; Ty Cobb said he "is the closest to being perfect in the game today" in 1952, and yet he has always been underpublicized by the media.[1] a devout Catholic who played in the conservative Midwest
Reggie White the best defensive football player ever, he twice won the AP Defensive Player of the Year award, set an NFL career record at the time of 198 sacks, appeared 13 consecutive times in the Pro Bowl, and won a Super Bowl championship[2] spoke out against the homosexual agenda and was hated by homosexual activists for it
Eddie Murray one of very few baseball superstars to exceed 500 home runs and 3,000 base hits gave the media the silent treatment, and a sneaker company dared to run him for president in a humorous campaign against liberal Bill Clinton in 1996[3]
Jim Plunkett won the Heisman Trophy and then led the Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders to two spectacular Super Bowl victories, and yet is not allowed in the football Hall of Fame a Mexican American who exemplified the American Dream and never asked for sympathy despite being raised by two blind parents, whom he praised immensely
