Why is everyone hating on crosby?

Question

he is pretty good, cuz hes in the pros. none of us could even dream of the pros. he scored 2 goals to help the pens beat the wings. i dont see how he sucks. but wutever u guys think, so y does everyone hate him and y does he suck

Answer 1

Who is Crosby?

Answer 2

i think he is a great player everyone is just jealous

Answer 3

If Crosby would shut up to the refs I would have some respect for him.  But since he is the face of the NHL he acts as if he knows everything.

You are just a kid, shut up.

Answer 4

I think he's an amazing player, no question about it. A great addition to the NHL. I don't hate the kid.

But honestly, who else in the NHL is more fun to joke about? Really?

Answer 5

One word - JEALOUSY

Answer 6

An elite player who complains to the referees like what would be done in Bantam hockey is why people "hate" on Crosby.  I think jealously is involved as well-- he's only 20!

Answer 7

Because he's easy to hate about and plus I know someone who's met him and said he was a jerk and wouldn't give them autographs so he sucks becuase he is a baby

Answer 8

Crosby played for a private school here in MN (Shadduck) and even as a little junior high schooler people were showing up at the school and looking him over, big names scouting him in ninth/tenth grade. He's handled pressure for a lot of years. If he acts like he knows a lot about hockey maybe it's because he's had some of the best coaches available. The thing is, he's always worked hard for hockey. Gosh I hate haters. Why can't we just appreciate talent for what it is and even though he may not hoist that Cup this year, you can bet your sweet @$$ some day Crosby will own the day his team wins the Cup.

Answer 9

hes  ok but i dont think he is a wayne gretzky

Answer 10

He leaves himself open to jokes due to his constant whining and diving.

But I give him credit for holding up under all of that pressure as THE LEAGUE SAVIOR and THE NEXT ONE blah blah blah. It would have driven me insane having all that media attention.

Answer 11

There's just so many funny things about him. He dives all the time, he has a bigass overbite, and he still lives with his butt buddy Mario Lemieux.

Answer 12

People who hate on Crosby are jealous, plain and simple. I don't think anyone here is dumb enough to deny his talent on the ice, but Crosby is also a great guy off the ice. Did you know he took a $3 million pay cut on his contract just so the Pens could afford to keep Malkin? Malkin would go to another team if he wasn't making the salary cap, but not Crosby. He's the kind of guy who isn't bothered knowing a teammate makes more than him even though he is the captain. He also personally handed out every single season ticket bought at the beginning of this season. And unlike somebody named Ovechkin, Crosby is very modest about his talents.

Answer 13

Flyers fan

Nuff said

Answer 14

lets see, scored against the 4rth line must be talented, slashed and nobody even raised a eye brow, disapeers when hit real professional. lets award him the Stanley cup hes so great (computer sucks at sarcasm) lets see if one of the fans will let him hoist the tin foil cup because thats about the only cup besides in his pants hes going to hold.

Answer 15

he's a one way playing whiner, that's why.

DET is schooling his ***!

Answer 16

We're not complaining about the quality of his hockey, we are complaining about what a cry baby he is. He's always too busy being a suck and wanting his way. Its so annoying and it's getting real old.

Answer 17

he doesnt suck but he is way too overrated

and have you seen his "facial hair" how can you not make fun of that?

Answer 18

Well I think "hate" is a strong word, but nobody has to like him. As a Sabres fan, I dislike him because he isn't on the Sabres! I'd still trade our overpaid bum Thomas Vanek for Crosby any day!

Answer 19

People always love to target those on top of a sport (or really anything for that matter).  Jealousy is as old as Chris Chelios, maybe even older... ;-)  No matter who (player) or what team it is, those who can not cheer for that player (i.e. he plays for another team) or that team (i.e the Yankees) target them for verbal abuse and criticism.

   If Crosby was on my team, the Leafs, then they might win 3 games in a row at times, but he is not and yet I have to hear about him in every third breath about the NHL and I would have little to say but good things about him (not that I criticize him anyway).

  If the elite player is on your team, or the elite team IS your team, then there is no critique - if not, then there is jealousy.

Answer 20

becuase im a caps fan and i rather support ovechkin that is the honest truth from me
