contentious



Something that is contentious is something that is not agreed on. For example, one person will say one sports team is best, while someone else will say another is – which makes the issue of which sports team is best contentious (provided those people have adequate credibility in terms of being able to express an opinion; if they follow another sport entirely, their opinion is not based on anything, and so pretty much doesn’t mean anything in that situation :) ).
