Players don't like him, but I think they dislike him for different reasons than the fans dislike him. For example. I think players dislike his anti-establishment rants whereas some fans are amused by that. On the other hand, fans don't like him, in part, because he is openly disrespectful of women such as when he said that he wasn't interested in having a relationship with a woman. He just wanted to hook up with them. A large percentage of the single players probably feel the same way, but they don't want to hear a teammate blabbing about it.
