So you think there's no correlation between how successful a team/franchise is and how much they're hated (or loved for that matter)? I mean, the correlation isn't 100% and there's always exceptions, but come on. When a team wins, they're more relevant. They're covered more, they get more exposure, they're playing in more widely-viewed games in the playoffs, so people as a whole will have more of a reaction to them. Ohio St. has more hate thrown its way than the University of Ohio. That's not because the University of Ohio necessarily has higher quality character players every year, they just don't matter.
