But every other way to refer to a position group takes more words or longer to say.
Does it, though?
the runningback group, the wide receiver corps are just two off the top of my head.
Not to mention, just using the plural would suffice in most cases. For reference, "The LSU wide receivers are playing well."
Saying "room" doesn't really bother me, neither does your rebut...I'm just bored at work and there isn't much to talk about right now.

"Physicality"
ESPN is plagued with low IQ former jocks using this word incessantly in an effort to sound intelligent and insightful.

"Analytics"
Commentators: "The decision to go for it on 4th and 10 on their own 25 yard line in the first quarter was based on the analytics."
durrrrr, the magical analytics that make illogical decisions and play calls explainable and somehow a smart decision.

I hate the way like is used.
"Signing a player like Lebron will be huge for the Sixers."
They didn't sign a player like Lebron, they signed Lebron.

"high points" the ball. Yeah, he reached up as far as he could to grab it.

Coaches love it, though. Easy excuse when what they do fails.

Meatball sub has already been run into the ground. And it’s been what? 4-5 weeks? That shite needs to go. It’s not even good.

“__ is better than __ and it’s not even close”
But that’s an over used phrase outside of sports too because people only want to think in black and white with no nuance

Using the word “tempo” over and over again
I’m dying on this hill.
The word isn’t used correctly. Webster’s states that tempo means speed or rate. Well, that could be fast or slow. When announcers say “they’re going tempo,” it makes me want to puke.
