Seems like that's the case here. But at the same time, I don't hear people trashing Tiger, so Federer must be doing something consistently (besides winning) to make people think he's a dick. I'm wondering what that is. If it's because he walks around thinking he's the best in men's tennis, well, that's because he is. Most people don't become the best without a certain attitude, and that's true in all professions.

Excellent! (I don't think she's all that ugly, but certainly he could have done better, looks-wise).

It's the arrogance that annoys me...stuff like having the jacket with "15" on it all made up for when he beat Roddick. I'd never claim the guy wasn't a great tennis player.

At the same time, I'm a huge Tiger Woods fan.

Some people do hate Tiger. People hate Kobe, but not LeBron. People definitely hated on the Cowboys. People hate on the Pats. People definitely hate on the Yankees. etc. etc.

Neither do the Cowboys, but enduring success from the past tends to remain a driver of hate well afterwards.

Good point.
However, I hate the Yankees because they don't win anymore.

They've been on a ridiculous tear, have a 7.5 game lead over Boston, and have the best record in baseball this season. If you're talking about World Series wins, 9 years since the last one isn't too bad. Many teams have gone much longer without one.
