Well for one thing he's called "Johnny Football"
The accusations of jealousy are absurd. If that were the case, people would hate 90% of professional athletes. I just think the guy is too full of himself. The reset button has been hit, and he hasn't done a damn thing yet.

But he sure ran quickly to trademark the name.
I enjoy disliking him, in a sports context. I have people I respect and cheer for and people I dislike and cheer against-- based on their public persona. I can't "hate" an athlete or celebrity; I don't know them personally.
