Who do you think is the most "athletically controversial" athlete of each major sport?

Football - Randy Moss: He may have been arguably the best athlete that has ever played in the NFL. Everybody questioned his work ethic and just seemed to have a chip on his shoulder.......the "me against the world mentality." The, "I give 0 fucks attitude." Of course he had his problems with the law but he was a very polarizing figure. You either loved him or hated him. I often wondered how great he would have been if he had Jerry Rice's work ethic. He put up monster numbers and just seemed to be in cruise control most of the time. He is the type of athlete that you want on your team, but probably wouldn't embrace. I wouldn't call Randy a villain but more of an antihero. I have never seen a receiver that could take on double or triple teams and still make catches like it was nothing. If you ask the fans, media members, or coaches about Randy. You will get a wide range of opinions. Not long ago he did this. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on...-to-cancer-surviving-fan-at-her-hs-graduation.

If you haven't seen his 30 for 30: Rand University I highly suggest watching it.

Football: Ndamukong Suh. Great player, piece of shit human

Tennis: Oddly enough, Pete Sampras. Traditionalistsloved him. Modern, younger fans didn't like him. He didn't showboat. He was the Anti-Agassi.

Basball: A-Roid

Basketball: LeBron James. You either hate him or like him there is no "meh".

NASCAR: Dale Earnhardt. Never has a fan based been more devoted to such a hazardous prick. His "if you can't pass em, crash em" driving style eventually cost him his life. NASCAR became ten fold safer the day he died.
