#[[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 11 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. [httphttps://www.cbsnews.com/8301-500202_162-57319698/20-years-since-magic-johnsons-hiv-stunner/]
#Colin Kaepernick &mdash; 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. Liberals protect him because he is likely a [[communist]].<ref>http://www.upi.com/Sports_News/NFL/2016/11/27/Colin-Kaepernick-praises-good-things-done-by-communist-Fidel-Castro/9581480294777/</ref>
#Ryan Lochte &mdash; 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]] &mdash; 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>httphttps://bleacherreport.com/articles/1482869-denver-broncos-is-peyton-manning-a-playoff-choke-artist</ref>
#Phil Mickelson &mdash; 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]]). Mickelson lavishly praises Woods.
#[[Steve Nash]] &mdash; 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.
#[[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>http://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 &mdash; 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>httphttps://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>).
#Michael Sam &mdash; 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 &mdash; 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.
