I'd say skateboarders have them beat in terms of personality.
Like who?
I am very familiar with that sport's stars. I wouldn't put the two in the same class.
Bam Margera, co-creator of jackass and a bunch of other spinoffs is probably the most prolific in recent memory. Love him or hate him but you can't deny that he's a true character.
The Z-boys, which pioneered the surfing style in skating.
Mike Vallely, whose nutty ways has made it for him as a musician, actor, tv guy and stuntman among other things... etc etc
And you might know Danny Way that started skating at the Del Mar at the ripe age of 5.
In any case it's not really fruitful to debate what sport has the best personalities since it's not something measurable. I think we can all agree on that US sports tend to develop their personalities unlike other nations. The US is always way ahead of the camp of adding an element of show, or as Tony Soprano put it "What two businesses have traditionally been recession proof since time immemorial? Certain aspects of show business...and our thing".

You lost me, I don't know what this means and if it was even directed at me.
