File This Under "Rage Virus" Crazy: Chad Ochocinco As Disliked As Michael Vick and Tiger Woods

by Josh Kirkendall on Sep 15, 2010 4:28 PM EDT in Analysis

You love Chad Ochocinco, don't you? It's alright. Admit your love. What player connects with his fans, takes them out to dinner and picks up their bill? Has an online show to talk about, well, whatever Chad likes to talk about. If you're a Bengals fan, you love Chad. His antics you might not like, especially if you're an old school fan, but generally speaking, you like Chad. Yes, you do.

Well, don't. You're not supposed to.

According to The Q Scores Company, creator of the Q Score that "markets itself as 'the industry standard for measuring consumer appeal'", the Bengals wide receiver is one of the most disliked figures in sports. Actually, with Terrell Owens, the Bengals have two of the top six most disliked figures in sports with Michael Vick and Tiger Woods being the top two. What company that is, going from high profile scandal cheating with half of the porn industry and a guy that likes dogs.

So when Chad scores a touchdown and flaunts it with celebrations during away games, know that 60-70 thousand people are going mad because of their "Rage Virus" has consumed them while we're eating our ribs, saying stupid catch phrases like "boo-ya" and dancing like we're anything but sober at a Dave Mathews concert.

Did they leave out the part where they only polled Steeler fans?

That’s some crap. Ridiculous, even.

A good Chad celebration can take away some of the pain of losing.

Through the mediocrity of the franchise the last ten years you wouldn’t think of mediocrity when you think of Chad.

Interesting list… I wonder why Roger Clemens, Brett Favre and Ben Roethlisberger didn’t make it??

Still not a crook!

I wasn't only just Steelers fans.

It was only white Steelers fans

You know

I was thinking the same damn thing! If Big Ben did not make it is automatically taken as a joke by me.

Simple reason for Chad and TO making the top 6

They only polled people who wish to see more FLAVOR FLAV on VH1 and think that Chad and TO’s shows are taking away from FLAVOR FLAV time.

I like Chad

He plays hard, he cares about winning, and he doesn’t take himself too seriously. Most importantly, he stays out of trouble with the law. I think he’s a good role model.

I could do without the gold teeth, though. And that hideous blond mohawk from a few years ago.

Good point about him staying out of legal trouble.

Yeah, he’s a “troublemaker” but he does it in the fun, playful way. The worst thing he’s ever done was ask for a trade.

The worst thing Chad did

Was to not attempt to get into football shape two years ago. He hurt his team and his career.

Talking to fans of other teams I've found that a good amount of them love Chad.

So I’m surprised.

I’ve heard Ravens fans saying that even though they hate the Bengals they love Chad and think he is hilarious.

See my comment above...

As a Ravens fan, I’d take Chad on my team any day.

There was a poll done like this by a much more reliable website and it was done in June.

Here’s a Forbes.Com article that has T.O. in the top ten but Ocho is no where to be found.

What Steeler-lovin', sister-kissin', dog-screwin' hackjob racist

was allowed to write an article with such poor research behind it? Who was his polling group, his Steeler-lovin’ family and all their Steeler-lovin’ friends?

How you really feel Doc! Lol

In SD

I went to a bar to watch bengals once last year in an Ocho Cinco jersey (ya mine is two words!) and this girl was a complete bitch to me and came up out of nowhere to talk shit about him. Seriously? I remember saying, “Its not like he is TO or something!” Anyway, people do really think badly of him, its remarkable!

If I have learned anything in my short lived life its that most people are dumbasses.

The amount of stupid people in this country is astounding. I can almost guarantee about 99% of the people in America need to use or do use a computer for work, school or entertainment. I’m also going to guarantee that about 40% actually know how to use them properly. And no one can drive but me. I dont get how people are so bad at driving. There is a steering wheel, gas pedal and a brake pedal. Not the most complicated thing in the world unless your a freaking idiot. Anyway I have rambled. Screw the Ravens! They are going to get beat down in the Jungle baby!

It is remarkable

I’m from Florida. The Miami area to be specific. My relatives have told me of the great things that Ochocinco has done in the community down there. If I recall correctly, Ochocinco purchased tickets for a Bengals game last season and gave tickets to fans Cincy. This assured the game would be on TV in the Bengals market. Yet all the “press” talks about is the negatives regarding this man.

A lot of the guys in the media are just dip sh*ts. Too many fans go by what there told and don’t do there homework.
