Here's a list I found:

Why do I hate Jeff Gordon ?

Lets see the list is soo big........can I get 10 + items listed ?

1) First off... I'm a Dale Jr. Fan.... have been & will always be..he's my BABY!

2) Jeff is not NASCAR ROYALTY!

3) Jeff is ugly and un-attractive

4) Jeff can't talk and is Un-polite..

5) Jeff doesn't seem to represent NASCAR the way he should meaning..when he wins he complains and when he loses he complains.. Just take a win for what it is and thank your fans and crew. Geesh how hard is that ?

6) Jeff is the annoying equivalent of Tom Cruise. People thought Tom was gay even if he played "Cole Trickle" in the Movie Days of Thunder.. and then married Katie Holmes and had a kid. Jeff married again and will have an Ugly kid too.

7) Jeff's Dupont car sux. The colors of that car are blinding and GAY! What are you an activist for gay pride parades ?

8) Jeff is just not Dale Jr. You don't see a sea of Dupont multicolored attire at NASCAR races...instead you see a sea of Budweiser and #8 Red.

9) I don't want to see him win anything... he's not worth it ?
Between Gordon & Stewart I chose Stewart..
Between Gordon & Jr I chose JR. Anyone but Gordon, really.

10) I hate Jeff for his "*********". He thinks he's all that.. News flash. U're NOT all that..go ahead and keep convincing yourself though..you go right ahead..

11) He may have won a few races this year but I think those were LUCKY wins..not earned wins..

12) Last but not least...He's never earned the title of MOST POPULAR /MOST WELL KNOWN DRIVER..that Title has always been Dale Jr's
This was written about a year ago...before Jr. became Gordon's teammate...by the way.

Pretty much most people were Dale Earnhardt Sr./Jr. fans. They're pissed because Gordon's won four championships and over 80 races...blah blah blah. It's jealousy. They're pissed that Gordon is surpassing Earnhardt.

They seem to skim over the fact that their hero Dale Earnhardt Sr. said that Jeff Gordon was going to be the next big thing. They say he bitches all the time. False. He only bitches when someone puts him in the wall or something...which he has a right to do. That person said that he bitches when he wins...show me that. I haven't seen it.

All in all, I think it's because of what Jeff Foxworthy says. He says NASCAR fans hate Jeff Gordon because he uses annunciation. He knows the English language.
