I've said it before, I'll say it again.

Never shake a baby!

Always stir.

Why does everybody hate Pedrosa so much?

I mean . . . I do too, but I'm not sure why.

size makes him an easy target
fun to do
the fact that with a spanish series owner, spanish sponsor, spanish rider.. even after winning the championship nicky is a 2nd class citizen

...oh, you didn't want a real answer?

size makes him an easy target

I think those are the main reasons I don't like him.  After reading some of the earlier posts in this thread i started thinking, and I couldn't remember the last time i heard anyone say anything positive about Pedrosa.  I guess its not really fair, he's a great rider.  Still, ... I can't stand him.

he represents the lollypop guild and repsol quite nicely.

to be fair, the first one (that you listed) isn't his fault.

and i think he really struggles to communicate well in english, which would turn the apparent slant of things said in the media one way or another.  not that he isn't kinda douchey as far as i can tell.. but i bet the language thing has a fair amount to do with that.  he is always way more emotive when speaking spanish.

whatever.. he's fast as hell, precise, consistent, and really tough.  esp for being that small.  and while it was the worst possible moment to do something completely boneheaded i'll never believe he actually meant to deliberately take out nicky.  which is not to say that i think he has any inkling of 'team spirit'.. i'm sure he doesn't.

you're right,  it absolutely isn't fair and its irrational.  And if i'm totally honest, I don't really even dislike him all that much.  Pedrosa-Hating has just become sort of a game I do for fun.  I just can't believe a six year old is able to ride that bike like he does.  FINE, I'LL ADMIT IT. . . I . . . LOVE. . . DANI PEDROSA.  There, I said it.  i think im gonna hurl
