The neighbor hood play at 2nd base in baseball. Its complete bullshite. Then someone says the phrase well that's baseball. No its not baseball it's freaking cheat and or lazy umpiring.

In football when a O-lineman kicks a defenders arse and takes him off his feet but gets called for holding. Only to be called for holding when the ref didn't have a good view of the play where no holding occurred.

If only those officials could make the same call as we do and the announcers do zoomed in at 1/4 speed. I take it you've never been courtside or on the sideline for an NBA or NFL game. It will give you a new respect for these athletes and how hard it actually is for officials to see everything once at live speed and make the right call most of the time. The speed of the game does not translate over the airwaves or from a distance. That 3" they just covered on your screen in 4 steps was 35'.

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

Elbow pads in baseball

The need to try to look "cool" in football, baseball and basketball

How QB stats are compiled. Why should a QB be credited with an 80 yard TD when he threw a screen and the WR broke 3 tackles and outraced the defense?

non pretty women as cheerleaders (looks should out weight dance talent in evaluations) and the outfits that some teams have purposely designed to be anti-sexy and as boring and unflattering as possible.

I am not looking for then to wear sexy stripper outfits, but damn, can we not have boobs duct taped flat and go back to having some bouncing boobs and a little as cheek showing in short skirts and panties? (dallas cowboys cheerleaders outfits for example is the look they should all be copying)

I agree with this ^^^^^^^

a QB doesn't get credited with the fumble if the receiver fumbles after the catch so the QB shouldn't get credit for the TD or the yards the receiver gets after catching it either.

QB should get credit for yards thrown to the point of the catch only, and not what happens after.
