The lamestream media like to promote athletes based not on skill, but for other reasons. Here's a growing list of the most overrated sports stars (notice how none are on the list of Greatest Conservative Sports Stars):

  1. Andre AgassiPete Sampras was far better, but Sampras is conservative. Agassi is a big donor to Democrat politicians.
  2. David Beckham — far from the best, but promoted like he's Pele. Is Beckham socially liberal like some of the others on this list?
  3. Kobe Bryant — hasn't won a title without super-coaching by Phil Jackson, who observes that Kobe is not on the high level of Michael Jordan;[1] Kobe makes only 46% of his shots, and scores lots of points because he hogs the ball.
  4. Sol Campbell — Is known to be sympathetic towards homosexual rights campaigners. During his England career they failed to win a single major tournament. While at Arsenal he failed to win the champions League, only ever making the final once and only won the Premier League a measly two times.
  5. Wayne Gretzky— Was only able to win a Stanley Cup in one of the four cities in which he played; never won an Olympic medal or a World Cup; inflated his points total with assists, relying on other players to actually score goals.
  6. LeBron James — 2012's NBA Finals MVP is far from the best player in the NBA, he is way overrated by the liberal ESPN compared to Christian Kevin Durant
  7. 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 (a heterosexual male who had unprotected sex with numerous women), and say, 'Hey, it's OK to get HIV because I'm living with it.' That is the wrong message. [1]
  8. Peyton Manning — a quarterback who won only one NFL championship, despite being voted by the media and others to be NFL MVP 4 times, AFC Player of the Year 6 times, and Pro Bowler 11 times. 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.
  9. Steve Nash — an 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
  10. Mark Sanchez — the New York Jets quarterback is being touted as the team's best QB over conservative Christian Tim Tebow despite falling apart at the end of the 2011–12 season. Now that Tebow's on-board, liberals are championing the former USC star as the superior player despite his recently poor play.
  11. Tiger Woods — hasn't won a major golf tournament in four years, and yet he's still the only one liberals want to talk about while reporting on tournaments.[2]

He has the same characteristics as Michael, but he's not the same player. It takes nothing away from him — he's a great player in his own right.")
  2. Years ago Woods, amid media hoopla, won the PGA Player of the Year a record ten times; Byron Nelson Award for lowest adjusted scoring average a record eight times; holds the record for leading the money list in nine different seasons; won 14 professional major golf championships, the second highest of any player, and 73 PGA Tour events, tied for 2nd all time; has more career major wins and career PGA Tour wins than any other active golfer; is the youngest player to achieve the career Grand Slam, and the youngest and fastest to win 50 tournaments; is only the second golfer to have achieved a career Grand Slam three times.
