According to a Nielsen study Not sure if there's any merit to this, I can't see why anyone would have any reason to hate the Indians. In fact, if I had to pick a favorite AL team, it'd be them. They have a list of the top 10 hated teams, the Brewers aren't listed. Based on the article and the list, it seems like it relies heavily on how each team's fans feel about their team, as half of the top 10 are bottom feeders, while the other half are big spenders.
