What flaw in another sport do you compare the joke that is stoppage time to?

Spare me the company line that this board loves to use.

In what world is it acceptable to mysteriously hide the clock that these officials are using? How do you justify this besides "tradition"?

I don't have a problem with it. They could make the time more transparent, but I like not having a set stopping point.

They have stoppage time in Rugby too. It's not that big a deal.

I have no problem with stoppage time. The lack of transparency is the issue. I've seen it be way too subjective in my years.

In basketball, when down by 1 with 15 seconds left, it helps the losing team to foul. You should never be helped by fouling.

Because it's really not that complicated at all and not a big deal. Of all the reasons to dislike soccer, and there are plenty, this is by far the most ridiculous.
