How was this comment 18h ago but the vid just came out 1min ago
So Aaron Hernandez Athletic life WAS better than Lamar Odom....Umm ok 🤥😅
@@LightsOut7368 cause it was scheduled to premiere at a later time as in this was a upload with a schedule to go online at a time after upload.
💔
@@WillHendersonTX Ok thanks for clearing that up cuz I really didn't understand that
the irony of Matt Lauer talking to Ryan Lochte about dumb behavior is funny
Just like Will Farrell on 'land of lost', "Matt Lauer can suck it"
Just another story of a woman using her body to get a head and then regretting it
Was thinking the same thing.
I never liked Matt. He looked like a condescending jerk who eventually got caught up in his own bull she et
Matt Lauer looks all too similarly like an older Ryan lochte.
The mike Vick part was actually wrong when he came back in 09-10 he won the comeback player of the year and still had a okay rest of his career unlike everybody else that’s on this list
This might sound like a hot take but hear me out. OJ Simpson’s legal trouble came well after his playing career was over, so that shouldn’t be on this list. His legal troubles did ruin his reputation, but all other athletes on this list had their troubles DURING their career.
Why am I not surprised OJ is on this list and #1? I thought this was going to be athletes who were playing at the time of their downfall. Odem wasn't playing anymore when he OD'ed in Nevada too
2nd time Mojo has put Hernandez on a list. Please stop comparing vandalism and drugs/substance abuse with murder. Hernandez also had CTE. OJ, Oscar, and Hernandez should not be compared with Kardashians and dumb swimmers.
You made me watch a clip of the kartrashians without my consent!!!
Michael Vick
Rae Carruth? OJ's career was already over.
OJ literally got away with murder and was still dumb enough to go to prison for robbery 😂😂
How is Aaron Hernandez below Michael Vick when Michael Vick came back and Aaron Hernandez is in the dirt?
That's a good question. 🤔
Aaron should be Top 2.
Because they may be one of those people who values an animal’s life over a human
Classic watchmojo
It's weird, but people like animals more than other people.
Michael Vick didn’t just mistreat dogs. He tortured them to make them aggressive, and he killed dogs that didn’t fight well enough. He only served time for running an illegal gambling operation, not the torture and murder of dogs.
I think Vick sure have spent more time in jail
Ahh who cares, all the meat you eat.. those animals aren’t in the best conditions so let’s not act like it’s a huge deal.. nobody should spend years in prison for dogs..
@@VENENOSEASON Nah, I disagree. The fact that some animals are processed as meat doesn't give people the right to torture and kill domesticated animals.
Kill babies here in USA 🇺🇸 so a dog. ..meh
@@CDeeez94 processed as meat? They live in very harsh conditions and probably better off dead with how their treated. Few dead dogs.. who cares man not a reason to put someone away for years
We could make a whole list for footballer’s alone
Other videos 10 wrestlers that killed and 10 football players that abused women.
I remember when Oscar Pistorius was arrested for his girlfriends murder. I still think him getting 13 years is not enough
I’m not familiar with this case but I’m puzzled by some specifics: So Oscar shot 4 times into the closed door of a toilet cubicle within his own large bathroom? Essentially like shooting into a closet.
That sounds sketchy. So instead of just asking who it is, he dips out, finds his gun and blind fires then is shocked to find it’s his girlfriend?! Hmm…I dunno…
@@TalentCaldwell exactly. Very suspicious
@@TalentCaldwell There was also the fact that she had been communicating with another guy (a rugby player) and Oscar has exhibited clear signs of nuttiness in public so yeah, he did it,
@@TalentCaldwell He knew what he was doing. She was going to leave him because he was a violent narcissistic ahole. Abusers are dangerous when the find out you're going to leave them. Their ego can't handle it. I'm glad they upped his time because she was a beautiful person inside and out.
@@brianwalsh1401this much is true. Ever hear of Joseph Barsi?
Putting Hernandez below Lamar Odom is a disgrace to the memory of everyone he killed
Not that serious, it's a YT list
Putting mike Vick up that high is crazy to me.
It’s a mojo video lmfao chill
"Among the most famous paralympic sprinters..."??🤣 Can anyone name ONE paralympic sprinter besides Oscar Pestorious? No googling.
Hunter Woodhall
Eric Cartman
Jonnie Peacock
Had Lamar Odom not gotten himself involved in the Kardashian/Jenner world, he would have had a HOF career.
And only knowledgeable basketball fans would have known the name of Kris Humphries.
@@fromthehaven94 I knew the name of Kris Humphries way before he got “married” to Kim Kardashian
The Lakers trade ruined him
@@fromthehaven94 Lakers fans remember him for his of course being in the same team with names like Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Derek Fisher, Andrew Bynum, Ron Artest…TAKE ME BACK TO 2010
@@a.c.slater7989 the fact they were ready to sent Odom for Chris Paul-
The Kardashians ruin two players life
They ruined all our lives forcing us to watch their reality series.
Eh, though I get it, OJ's ruination was not during his active sporting career whereas I think the rest were...regardless though, he was still a sporting figure who ruined his (post sports) career off the field. His just seems a little different to me because the others sabotaged themselves in their prime, abruptly cutting off their sources of income and seriously damaging any future prospects.
Not only is what you pointed out absolutely true, OJ to this day still receives an NFL pension granted to retired players. I only discovered that when he was named into the NFL Top 100 players of all time 3 years ago.
How is it different? He literally murdered a woman and a man.. no doubt about its OJ committed that crime.
@@VENENOSEASON The OP’s point is that the video says it’s about “Athletes Who Ruined Their Careers Off-Field”. OJ was long retired so he had no career to ruin, just his life and reputation.
@@TalentCaldwell Ahh alright make sense, my bad.
Aaron hernandez number 7? Lol
I don’t know how many times I’ve heard about the Tonya Harding case. I understand cheating but her actions is worse
Yea and to hear her say on Oprah that she's also the first women to do some trick. The funny part tho, noone removers her for that. How fitting she ended up on worlds dumbest 😂🤣😂🤣
FYI, Hernandez wasn't found "innocent" of the other 2 murders, he was found NOT GUILTY. I realize it's a matter of legal semantics, but saying a person is NOT GUILTY as opposed to INNOCENT is the court's way of saying they couldn't prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, but not that the person is innocent of the charge necessarily. That's why it's either GUILTY or NOT GUILTY, never INNOCENT. Just means they couldn't prove it. 😉✌️
Ever hear the saying, innocent until proven guilty?
If u can't prove it, it didn't happen tf u talking bout
Surprised Rae Carruth didn't even get a (dis)honorable mention
Facts
Right! Why isn’t he at the top of all the lists with Hernandez and Pistorious!!!!
“Rae Carruth”?
Add DeShaun Watson. That sick f*** had AEW chants. Pair him Big Ben as his manager
Aaron Hernandez was the epitome of a loser. Talk about a guy who had everything and threw it all away just cause he was too deep in the closet.
What about Rae Caruth
Henry ruggs?! He was a star receiver....he literally killed a girl and her dog while driving at 170mph while on the influence of alcohol
That sounds horrible but would you say he is more well known than any of the 10 on this list?
@@TalentCaldwell definitely more well known than the skater girl and cripple. 1st rounder top 3 receiver from his class. And it’s relevant more relevant than everything on this list.
I’m surprise he didn’t make the list but the DUI happened before he had his first pro game didn’t it?
@@THANATOS-PRIME nah he was still a rookie during that incident. He wasn’t even in the league a year yet
@@olliesmith4997 I'm pretty sure it was during his second season
Did I miss something or was Rae Carruth not on the list. WTF.
He wasn't on the list, although I think he should have been number one.
So Ray Caruth gets a pass?
Michael Vick clearly doesn’t belong here, he definitely had a complete resurgence in Philly and went on to play for two other teams
True, but his best years were cut short serving his sentence.
Definitely would been a HoFer
Yeah it could of definitely been better buuuuuut he probably wouldn’t have learned his craft and stuck to relying on being the fastest guy out there and his body would have broken down much faster I think it actually helped him focus and was a much better quarterback
@@rothed16 I agree. He could have been HoF if he maintained the same play for the rest of his career. Most QB rushing records that are being held or broken are his. He changed the position.
@@stevecrispin5002 😂😂😂
@@louky2228 what
What about Rae Carrath?
“Rae Carrath”?
Spoiler alert: No hockey players (Canadian or otherwise) make the list. As expected.
Tonya Harding shouldn’t be in the list. Her entry goes against your own rules. Her actions occurred at the actual event aka on the field.
And all of them deserved everything that was coming to them. Sorry they all deserve what they got.
I think there should be a part II
Why some athletes think of doing things knowing it will ruin their careers is beyond me
People get fame and or fortune and think they're untouchable
@@FungiRy91 I agree. Athletes are not invincible they are role models for kids!
Eh a mix of their ego inflating without control, a belief they either won’t get caught or if they are it will be a light slap on the face and a notion that their fans or sponsors or bosses will protect them due to their talent
@@vanessastegall It's not their job to be role models. These leagues are not going to tolerate criminal behavior because it makes them look bad.
I have a big smile on my face every time some obnoxious athlete wrecks his career. If they were paragons of virtue, I would feel differently.
People that actually killed someone should be at the top of this list.
Where was henery ruggs
What about Rae Carruth? He was a first round draft pick and was a named to the all rookie team as a wide receiver. He was convicted of conspiracy to murder his girlfriend who was 8 months pregnant with his child.
Came here to say this name! Wild story!
Often enough and they deserve NO sympathy for poor decisions.
8:27 I don't know if the events of the movie "I Tonya" are completely real
But if it was real, Tonya would be a complete victim and different from the rest on the list
And I still remember a sentence in the movie when she was talking to gymnastics judges when the judge told her that "Nancy represented good American family values",
and Tonya replied that "she didn't have a good American family".
Nancy wasn't an angel either. After those Olympics Kerrigan was caught on camera saying doing a Disney parade was one of the "corniest" things she ever did. The video shows her attitude.
TONYA WAS NOT A VICTIM
@@jefffuller9918 I don’t think being caught saying a Disney parade was “corny” is equatable to being caught having had her own teammate’s legs attacked.
@@jefffuller9918 Doing a Disney parade IS corny, but I'd like to have one on my resume, being a corny guy.
So we're really comparing some footage of an athlete being kind of snobby on camera to her rival trying to have her kneecapped and coming very close to ruining her career out of jealousy? That's seriously a thing we're doing?
Rest In Peace to to those that passed away.
Debunk on Michael Vick: It's true that the whole dogfighting scandal tarnished his rep & career. But he did actually recover when he signed with the Philadelphia Eagles back in 2009 [With his memorable game was the "Monday Night Massacre" back in 2010 against the Washington Redskins who goes by Washington Commanders] & broke his own records in the NFL (Rating, Attempts/Completions, Yards & Touchdowns) as well as gaining most of the publicity trust back. So Vick really redeemed himself & I can still see him in Canton if the people would give him a chance & put their differences aside
I am still sick from this.
Vick was a millionaire several times over before the dog fighting disgrace and when he got out of prison he was in debt of upwards of 80mill, and he is to this day just getting out of debt.
Lucky student, he sure did. They signed him to a 1yr contract and he was faster than he was before prison. All the horrible crimes people commit everyday Vick went to prison because of a dog that can eat its own poo/vomit, eat raw dead animals, eat trash, humans can't and shouldn't live like that. Yet, we care more about animals than we do humans. Vick is still one of the best!
How did OJ Simpson, who was well beyond retirement in 1994, ruin his career off the field? His career was already over.
Honorable mentions:
1. Eddie Johnson
2. Lawrence Phillips
3. Daryl Strawberry
4. War Machine
5. Henry Ruggs III
6. Michael Ray Richardson
And Ray Carruth
Steve McNair
Man I forget about Michael Ray Richardson
Don’t forget Antonio brown
@@victorduru I don’t think McNair was a disgraceful athlete, he was tragically murdered
I know you wanted to get a list that was more varied, but what about Rae Carruth of the Carolina Panthers murdering his wife. I know that assault is bad, but this is far worse than the Ray Rice or Greg Hardy situations
Someone who killed someone being #7 is hilarious. America is so fucked up
What about Kellan Winslow, Jr.? Anyone? Buehler?
Why would they jeopardise all opportunities which could lead them into a successful outcome.
❤️ The channel
Lots of love from Australia 🌏🖤🥰
“Browns sack Johnny football” 😂😂😂
OJ Simpson had been retired for 20 years from the NFL before he killed Nicole and Ron. How did that ruin his athletic career?
Top 3 (In my opinion):
1. O. J. Simpson
2. Tonya Harding
3. Oscar Pistorius
The top 2 were the only ones I've heard these athletes were charged, and I put Oscar up there because of his actions lead to his penalty, which is more brutal than the others.
Jon Jones would be #1 if he was ever actually held accountable for any of the countless horrible things he's done.
Hard to argue he would be number one when there is multiple murderers on this list lol. What has he done that’s worse than murder? Hit and run? DUI with a gun? Ped use? Lol. You sound like a hater
Adam Johnson and Mason Greenwood better be on this list
No it's all American except for one
Ummm where is Henry Riggs. A man who actually killed someone like Aaron.
why say partner, why not say wife or girlfriend? it just makes your eplentaions confusing.
Oscar did it on purpose, he knew who it was, hope he never makes it out. Good riddance
Anybody else see The Irony in Matt Laurer interviewing Ryan Lochte? 🤣
OJ? all the others were current athletes. OJ was already retired when he murdered his ex
Are Mad all the NFL Players?. Tonya Harding didn't know before what her ex-husband did it, then she knew it but due to fear she keep on silence. Also: Willy Aybar, Diego Armando Maradona, Lance Armstrong, Juan Igor Gonzalez, Mike Tyson.
Marry a Kardashian is right above murdering a man? Lol. This list.
How is Aaron not number #1. He got paid an amazing contract and shortly after he killed his friend. He actually killed some one where as everybody else didn’t.
“…Everybody else didn’t.”? Um… Not how many (most) people feel about OJ.
Not to mention Oscar Pistorious LITERALLY admitted to killing his girlfriend
Whoever's reading this,I pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! amen
Whoevers reading this beware of bots like tiger and Jorge
Whoever's reading this, I pray you like my comment because I'm human garbage and have nothing to offer society except spamming comment sections daily.
Report the spam bot.
Number one doesn’t surprise me. It’s just awful
Where’s Henry Ruggs? He definitely deserves to be on this list over Michael Vick!
Delong’s West and Antonio Brown bruh
Michael Vick is a…well, it rhymes with his last name.
I really thought Michael Vick would have topped this list. He was HoF worthy if he kept his rate of play. He was changing the game. I think OJ ruined his legacy the most, but it happened when he was done.
Pete Rose?
You forgot Jonathan "War Machine" Koppenhaver
I see why he needed to go by the nickname War Machine.
I remember the OJ trial quite well I was pretty young at that time still I even remember the chase because I thought it was weird that they were going so slow on the freeway. And my grandma actually died I think a month before they read the verdict but she had been following it since the beginning also so she never got to see the conclusion
As a Cleveland native, I will never forget the Johnny Manzel years. Mostly cuz his antics was all you heard about at the time, even if you didn’t follow Football.
yep I use to see him all the time on w.6th or the flats being a menace
Uh... Michael Vick won Come Back Player on the year and was an MVP candidate and after playing with the Philadelphia Eagles he played for two more teams the New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers. And got a deal with Fox NFL pre game show
One athlete who should be on this list in my opinion is Lawrence Phillips. He was a star in the making with his world class talent, but his past mistakes and demons caught up to him.
Lawrence Phillips couldn't stay out of his way.
Just lost a bet with myself that Aaron Hernandez would have topped this list.. Haven't finished it yet but am guessing OJ is right there at the top, Tanya Harding must be somewhere on this list but how is the Patriots #81 on only 7?
Where's Tiger Woods?! OJ Simpson. Enough said. "Sports people?" You mean athletes?
I hope vick is gone forever soon
Ray Rice ahead of Aaron Hernandez?
I think Ray Curruth deserves a spot on this list, put out a hit on his pregnant wife. Also am interesting one would be Shane Hmiel who was banned from nascar because he had a meth addiction and drove many races high
Mixed martial artist War Machine should be on this list too.
Mike Vick redeemed himself. He even played again, I wouldn't call that ruined.
True victory lies not in the cunning stratagems of deceit, but in the noble pursuit of excellence with integrity. To deceive in sport is to deceive oneself, for the greatest triumphs are earned through honesty and honor, not through the shadow of deceit." - Marcus Aurelius
John Rocker, Trevor Bauer, Mike Tyson, Kellen Winslow Jr.,, Matt Araiza, Calvin Ridley, Barrett Robbins, Robinson Cano, Jason Pierre-Paul.
I don't undestand how, Aaron Hernandez isn't higher on this list. Ray Rice messed up more? Mike Vick messed up more than Aaron Hernandez? REALLY? Smh, a joke.
😂😂😂
Tiger woods
Y’all need to leave Mike Vick alone… from a career stand point he and HE alone changed football to what it is today.. we owe everything to that man regardless of how of a mistake he made.
We need more sports domes (don't forget sunlight; sends signal outward, provides entertainment (more jobs but we need better food options that keep us healthy & staying young and emotions) and less business towers (sends signal outward starting extraction from ground)
If I had been the NFL commissioner for Michael Vick, I would have buried him under whichever stadium was being built... or He starts at the 50 yard line, on the goal line is the police K-9 unit (on half rations for the last week) and Vick is wearing Lady Gaga's meat dress. He has to run 50 yards before the dogs get him and he has to cross the goal line before we pull them off him.
How are you gonna preview Lance Armstrong but not even mention him in the top 10? I'm so confused lol I think he was worth mentioning at least in the top 10 for how famous his doping scandal was.
A) how is hernandez NOT top 3!?
B) pete rose & Lance Armstrong don't crack top 10?! Was this mojo person new to sports when they wrote these rankings 🤦♂️
Tell me you don't know any sports exist outside North America, without telling me you don't know any sports exist outside North America.
Shitty J should've NEVER been released. I'm glad however that the company I worked for has him banned from ever being on any of their properties (we don't want a murderer)
I’m not sure how much off field affected Lamar Odom considering it was year 13 unless you’re talking bout marrying a Kardasian?!
Ray rice should have been lower than Vick and Hernandez and Greg hardy. One killed dogs the other killed people and the last one beat his girl into the icu. Ray rice was just a punch on camera… those three should be above him then Harding? Wow this list is out of order as hell
The Iceland football team that qualified for the euro and world cup
This list is ass how Michael Vick on here? He got picked up by the eagles and the proceeded to be A football analyst! So his career wasn’t ruined but his reputation qualifies him to be on the list?
How on earth is Pete Rose not on this list?
You mean to tell me that Michael Vick fighting dogs and Ray Rice in his wife is worst that Aaron Hernandez murdering someone??
The Ray Rice wife who cost him his career especially Evelyn Lozada on Chad Johnson
Some women did cost athletes their jobs
6'10 is too tall for a helicopter? Bro its not a neck or back injury, push his damn knees up or something
A lot of back and forth about Michael Vick and the severity of what he did… can we at least agree that if nothing else, it was an incredibly stupid and unnecessary thing to do?
