Image for article titled IDIOT OF THE YEAR No. 7: Kanye West

We are at a crossroads as we dive deeper into the single digits. Overall idiocy should be a factor, but as we are ranking the biggest imbeciles in sports, Yeezus West finishes at the top. West's impact in the sports world landed him a top 10 spot, even though his damage was worse than people ranked ahead of him. You are an antisemitic idiot and I wish you good luck. You have done enough damage that you barely touch the sports world.

All of West's major brand deals were ended after he went on an antisemitic rant. He went crazy after doubling down on his views and got his account suspended. Thanks for allowing a person with hatred in their heart to return to the platform. West appeared with Alex Jones on a far right group. Jones was ordered to pay over a billion dollars in damages for lying about the Sandy Hook school shooting.

The text "Kanye was right about the Jews" was shown on a stadium chyron in Jacksonville after the Florida-Georgia game. The crowd of neo-Nazis gave the Nazi salute on the 405 freeway in October. West normalized hatred against the Jews. Accepting that awful people exist isn't the reason for Yeezus' actions. He doesn't comprehend the harm he does.

Donda Academy temporarily closed due to the controversy. Both of Donda's 5-star basketball prospects left the program due to the team shutting down. Robert is playing for the Overtime Elite. A Texas signee is finishing his prep career. Donda Sports and NBA All-Star Jaylen Brown parted ways with the brand after learning of West's antisemitic tendencies.

Antonio Brown, who is far from a moral compass, stayed on as the company's president. Dave Chappelle wrongly thought that West did so much damage that he got a player in trouble. You can see the intent behind the comic. After West shared a recent bout of antisemitism, Irving didn't promote an antisemitic film and book.

Some people looked at him in two different ways because of his association with Donald Trump. They love his music even though he stands for something. Families still consider one of Disney's theme parks to be one of the happiest places on Earth despite rumors that he is a racist and antisemitic. More people have paused before listening to his music after his October outburst. The majority of radio stations have stopped playing his music. West's reputation will probably never recover in the sports world.
