Top Ten Reasons We All Hate Duke

 
The Duke Blue Devils basketball team is arguably the most hated sports team in the country. Why is there such animosity towards Duke. Blue Devil fans will have you believe it's jealousy over their success. I don't think that's true. I am impartial, and actually kind of root for North Carolina, as do many people who simply like basketball. UNC was a basketball school and people enjoyed the history and traditions that go on there. And UNC has won one more national championship (4) than Duke (3). I don't think that could possibly be it. So after some research I have come up with the Top Ten Reasons people hate Duke. 10. The name Blue Devils: Not because of the fact that it is anti-religious, but because they are named after a the French fighting battalion "les Diables Bleus", and no one likes the French. This actually proves my point that the hatred of Duke has nothing to do with their success, because the French Army always loses. Go ahead type "French Military Victories" into the Google search ...
