Joe Buck is despised by millions of sports fans. FOX’s premier broadcaster calls their NFL ‘Game of the Week’ and some MLB playoff games and although he’s very good at his job, fans still hate him. They scream bias, unfair comments and other absurd claims that more accurately reflect their lack of awareness for the sport and industry than anything else.
However, the Buck hate is not ending anytime soon, as evidenced by repeated Twitter rants and NSFW comments about the man who has no vendetta and sheer hatred against or toward the Royals, Seahawks, Packers, Astros or any other team.
Here’s a taste of the daily heat he receives on Twitter:
Why did Joe Buck jinx our playoffs? I can’t stand him and Troy Aikman’s commentating!

The worst part of the #NFL playoff scheduling is that we have to put up with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman AGAIN. Let us lose in peace. #Packers

#Vikings fans everywhere are #blessed that Joe Buck won’t call next Sunday’s game. — Mike Marcotte (@mike_marcotte) January 4, 2016
Well we get to play on Fox in two weeks so listening to Joe Buck root for the opposition should be fun
