10. Why hate these players? For the Record...

Across five days during July 2009, Manager Joe Girardi and all 25 of his players divided into groups and took part in five Hope Week events. They interacted with a terminally ill man, with a married couple who are mentors to dozens of children, with children whose disease prevents them being in the sunlight, with a Little Leaguer whose cerebral palsy has confined him to a wheelchair, and with two developmentally challenged workers from a law firm’s mailroom. - New York Times 7/15/09

16. Your point being??

Perhaps you're not aware, but almost every top-tier professional athlete has their own charitable organization these days.

17. Point being that many players on all teams are decent human beings...

The league nut-jobs are the exception. People who don't understand what sportsmanship is about have likely never played organized sports. Sure, you can root against a particular team, but to take it to the extreme of hating all individuals involved with an organization is neurotic.
