Poll Results: Why do you hate Duke?
Over the past week, we’ve conducted a poll that asks our readers why they hate the Duke Blue Devils. Here are the results (250 respondents):
The results are interesting. While 37% of respondents freely admit that they don’t hate Duke, that means that 63% do, for one reason or another. The top reasons were “they get all the calls” with 20%, “private school, elitist student body” with 14%, and “Christian Laettner, J.J. Redick, etc.” with 8%. Surprisingly, “Coach K” (3%) and “they win too much” (4%) were not popular responses.

Oh my God, are you ever going to stop talking about this? Let it go already! Maybe people hate Duke so much because Duke fans like you won’t shut up about it.
They’re poll results, man. Chill out. This was going to be the last of it, but I think I’ll post again and again just to irritate you.
Yeah, irritating your readers sounds like a foolproof way for a small sports blog to build a loyal fanbase.
I enjoy reading the stuff on this blog for the most part, but this Duke stuff has been nauseating. All sorts of people hate Duke for all sorts of reasons, just like all sorts of people hate the Yankees, Red Sox, Lakers, Celtics, Cowboys, Patriots, Notre Dame, Red Wings and a host of other sports teams for all sorts of reasons. Sports fans love to hate almost as much as they love to win.
Right, which is why it is interesting to a lot of people, and since Duke just won the championship, it’s a good time to talk about it. If you don’t want to read it, then skip the post — no one is forcing you to read every post Anthony and I write.
Posts about Duke hatred to complete the Bucks – McNabb – Duke Hatred trifecta?
Tell us how we can make everyone happy.
Missed the poll, is “Because I’m a UNC fan” an adequate enough response? I mean, I could be more specific but that’s really what it all boils down to.
Oh and for the record, complaining about content on a free to read blog is freaking stupid.
Maybe one choice could have been “I’m an ignorant redneck that lives in a trailer park, I’m inbred, a Meth head and I love them tarholes”.
I think that would account for about 90 percent.
“Maybe people hate Duke so much because Duke fans like you won’t shut up about it”
Hey dumb ass, your perpetuating the reason you give aren’t you? He has his opinion, just like all the rest of you. You idiots need to grow up and quit attacking his opinion. That shows feeble minded ignorance. And you mention “because Duke fans like you won’t shut up about it”? Oh only other fans are allowed to voice themselves right?
Idiots.
