    2. Red Sox
    3. Reds
    MLB: Cincinnati Reds

        I'm guessing its because they did a net value of the positive and negative reactions towards each team. I guess all the popular reactions outweighed the negative ones.

          Any poll where the Yankees aren't number 1 isn't right. There might be a lot of people who like the Yankees, but there's just as many that hate them with a passion.

          Also, who hates the Indians? I mean, besides Indians fans, that is.

            This ranking system is understandable if it goes by a net thing like people said. I mean people opposed to that thought should maybe also say Michael Jordan is of the worst basketball shooters ever because he's nearly missed more shots than anybody else in NBA history. It just doesn't work that way.

              I think it has more to do with their own fans complaining about them.

                  Heh, my top 2 most hated teams are the Yankees and Braves. I'm neutral toward the Indians, like the Red Sox, and mildly dislike the Reds only because they're in the Pirates division.
                  Steelers : IX, X, XIII, XIV, XL, XLIII
                  Penguins : 1990/91, 1991/92, 2008/09, 20015/16, 2016/17
                  Pirates : 1909, 1925, 1960, 1971, 1979
                  Panthers (FB): 1915, 1916, 1918, 1929, 1931, 1934, 1936, 1937, 1976
                  Panthers (MBB): 1927/28, 1929/30

                      I could understand the hatred toward the Reds back in the 70s and even through the 90s I guess (largely due to Marge Schott). But now??

                          Trading away Cy Young winners in back-to-back seasons will make your fans hate you. I'd like to see how the Tribe's "genius" front office spins this one...
