Male Soccer celebrations.

The curry mouthpiece thing.

Big 10 not having 10 teams, etc.

Mizzou in the SEC.

WWE divas...the shitty matches.

Women announcers

Traveling and carrying not called in the NBA.

NFL WRs celebrating an easy catch for a 1st down. It's your fricking job to catch the ball.

Just a few.

The foulathon at the end of basketball.

The final minute of the game of basketball is completely fundamentally broken but it's been that way for so long it's now been accepted as a legitimate part of the game and strategy and what not.

The rest of the world seems to just be able to not notice or care, but I can't help but to see the idiocy of it.

Schools in the south that play on ugly fake turf. Why the hell did Arizona, Texas, and Kentucky take out the beautiful grass? At least Ole Miss was smart enough to bring it back.

Dropped 3rd strike. Antiquated rule that needs to be abolished. It serves no purpose other than nostalgia.

When a defensive back gets beat, then celebrates excessively after swatting a pass. A pass that was underthrown to begin with.


Even worse is when they celebrate after making a tackle on a long run for a first down

On that same note, when the crowd celebrates a big hit followign the opposing team making a huge play.

I'll be sitting there, the opponent will completely like a 35 yard pass, the WR will get crushed in a big hit, and the dumbass fans around me are like cheering and high fiving and I want to fricking cuss them out, like, the other team just completed a 35 yard pass you idiots.

"Rookie" mistake. Who hasn't seen Tom Brady or Drew Brees throw one up for grabs instead of taking a sack?

Names on jerseys with a suffix (e.g., Smith Jr., Smith III) Unless Smith Sr./I is also on the team, you should be simply Smith.
