Yes, its just the way it is...Sometimes people have to hate people who win alot...He's not my favorite but I do not hate him..All sports have players and teams they hate..Nascar.. well it just happens to be Jeff Gordon...and it doesn't bother him a bit, he just keeps oh whinning and winning..

I am not a Gordon fan,but I am very respectful of his driving ability.During his Busch Series years I was a fan.I wore Gordan/Babyruth gear and was a fan of his and would of still been a fan if certain politics did not happen right before he signed with Hendrick Racing.
The full account is sealed but there was some pretty nasty accusitions made about the first Busch to Cup contract.
There is nobetter driver in cup today.The move to be the best driver in the history of the sport is a sure bet.
Politics does not belong in sports.As long as the "money" talks theory is allowed there will be bad rules and poor management.NASCAR is the best sport on the market today.But there are politics involved that make it look like a give away.

I think it is a good thing that Jeff Gordon isn't everybody's favorite driver. No sport is fun to watch without rivalries.
Gordon isn't the only great driver out there. Stewart and Kenseth are just as good.

Yes, that is what nascar is about you either love or dislike a driver but you respect them as a driver. I said dislike because hate is a vary Strong word.

I HAPPEN TO BE ONE OF THOSE WHO LOVES JEFF GORDON, HE'S A GREAT DRIVER , PEOPLE LOVE TO HATE THE WINNERS IN THE SPORT. THESE PEOPLE SHOULD RESPECT THE SPORT AND NOT HATE OTHER DRIVERS BECAUSE THEIR DRIVER IS NOT DOING WELL. IF I DISLIKE A DRIVER, I DON'T FEEL THE NEED TO PUT HIM DOWN, I WOULD RATHER PUT MY ENERGY INTO CHEERING MY FOR DRIVER, I JUST LET IT GO IN ONE EAR AND OUT THE OTHER. MAYBE SOME OF THE OTHER FANS SHOULD DO THE SAME. CHEER ON YOUR DRIVER AND GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE. THE SPORT WOULD BE MUCH BETTER FOR IT.

Yes I have noticed thisand it is the same in all sports if you are not a fan you dislike the winners or the Dynasties. Plenty of fans disliked these Dynasties--Boston Celtics--NY Yankees--LA Lakers--Dallas Cowboys and WHY??? They were all WINNERS on top of their GAME Year in and Year out!!!!

If you were around when Dale Sr raced, he got the same treatment. Most fans either loved or hated the man.
As more than one person has said, "I don't care if the fans are cheering or booing, just as long as they are making noise."

Ill admit it, I dont like Jeff Gordon because he wins so stinkin much. I think he is a cry baby. He got on my bad side when he spun Rusty out at Bristol when Rusty was leading.

I don't love him, and I don't hate him. But he is a good driver.
Don't hate the Yankees either, but that's just me.

That is true. It's not much different with Tony. Either people love/or hate him for being a bad boy.
