Sports Niche/Phenomena/Genre That PISSES You Off the Most?

I have to go with NCAA Football. I fucking hate that shit. I hate it so much, it ruins my Saturday mornings. I hate it. I hate the happy atmosphere all those lushes partake in; I hate their fucking face paint; I hate their shitty univiersities that let them break the law on their campuses. :mad::mad::mad:

Okay, WNBA and to some of you others soccer takes the title, but something in my blood loathes college football. I know my dad hates it, even though he's a football guy, so maybe that's it?

I want to know, what sport niche/phenomena/genre really sticks in your craw. Lay it on us. If it's hockey, so be it; if baseball or football or soccer, same thing. :mad::mad::mad:

You looking at me?
I don't know how many NBA fans we got here, but I gotta say that basketball pisses me off the most. All those so-called 'athletes' getting paid millions of dollars to do something my Grandmother could. Plus, everytime I have the misfortune of catching the end of a game on TV it takes like half an hour to play the final two minutes. And they don't even play a full 60. That plus all the weak crap that get called as fouls, explain to me how these guys are worth that much money.

Living in the states and having no interest in soccer whatsoever, I'd rather watch that than basketball. Hell, even golf would be more enjoyable.

But, that's just my :2 cents:.

I see your point and used to feel the same way even, but now I actually prefer the NCAA over the NFL. You got better, more intense rivalries. Fewer games, which makes each one more important. A better overtime. Plus, no pansy ass two minute warning, which for some reason I have an unhealthy hatred for.

I agree with NCAA football, but for different reasons. I don't like the fact it's a sham. I don't like the fact it's the only sport of it's caliber in the world that I know of where the "champion" is as much voted on instead of winning it on the playing field. I don't like that it's full of intercollegiate politicking to see who can get the most money between schools and between conferences. I don't like the fact that teams can schedule who they want to maximize their winning. I don't like the fact they bend over for an outside bowl system so people can make money at the expense of the integrity of the game. I don't like that it has corrupted institutions that are subsidized by tax dollars so they can be entertainments business instead of important centers of higher learning like they are supposed to be. I don't like the fact it's also a sham in that it pretends to be "amateur" when anybody with even a little bit of common sense can see it's not anymore and hasn't been for a very long time. I don't like the fact that they make the "students" pretty much work 40+ hours a week on football and their studies are laid by the waste side because like I said the whole amateur thing is a sham. I don't like that somebody that wants a future in football, but doesn't care about college life or getting a degree has to play college ball to have any reasonable chance at a career by design of the NCAA and NFL. I haven't even mentioned the joke classes created just so athletes can pass (when they even have to show up for those), the rampant cheating that's both known and condoned, and the fact a spot that could have been taken up by somebody that wants to learn has to go to somebody that doesn't care.

I don't like the fact that it brings in billions of dollars off television contracts, shoe contracts, endorsements, video game rights, souvenirs, ticket sales, and sales of sports memorabilia and the Universities make billions of dollars, most top coaches make millions of dollars a year while the students who are exploited and risk their health are forced to make nothing and can't make what the markets and their talents would dictate because their is a tax free cartel we allow to exist that practically forces them into that situation. If a “student-athlete” so much as except a sandwich from the wrong person they are ineligible and for some reason ridiculed by the populace and the media who usually turn a blind eye to the system. Everybody should just except that NCAA mens football and basketball is minor league PRO ball and treat everybody in the system like it is. I don't like how people blissfully cheer for a corrupt system because they like the product on the television screen.

Is there anything more fake in the sports world than NCAA football?

No two-minute warning, just a yearly controversy over who should be playing in the championship because instead of doing the rational thing and having a playoff system like every other NCAA sport, the NCAA falls victim to the power of the dollar and the horrid system that is the BCS. Also, you get teams choosing opponents they have no business whatsoever playing, which undermines the authenticity and integrity of the game. Personally, I tire of the NFL more because of its saturation of the mainstream sports media market for 8 months out of the year, and I hate the NBA even more, because they're on television 12 months out of the year.

I totally agree. The NCAA would be perfect if they added a playoff system. Also, they should allow only one "tune-up" game at the beginning of the season. (You gotta give them something since they don't have a pre-season.)

I was just saying that on a game-to-game basis, college football is usually better than the NFL.

Diving in all sports.

No playoffs in NCAA football.

Player salaries, and how it raises beer/food/ticket prices.

Sports nicknames. In hockey they just end every name in -er or -y. Stammer. Ozzy. Iggy. Basketball is just initials paired with jersey number. CP3. CB4. Baseball has first initial with first three letters from last name. A-Rod. K-Rod.

What happened to cool nicknames like The Glove. Charlie Hustle. Hammerin Hank. Jesus Shuttlesworth. The Round Mound of Rebound. Jellybean. Clyde the Glide. Big Ticket. The Dominator. The Boogieman. The Mule. The Great One. Etc.

I think most sports are pretty shite. I wouldn't mind them so much if they didn't dominate the news. That time slot is supposed to be for news, not a run down of groin injuries.

Motorsport is perhaps the most rediculous for the obvious reason that it's not sport.

Australian rules football and NFL are born out of the same kind of retardation.

Cricket should have died out with the British Empire.

If you play polo you should be shot in the interest of preserving good taste, but you won't be because your daddy probably owns half the country.

Netball has some nice looking girls but I imagine they have very sweaty vaginas.

Rugby is for people who would otherwise be in jail for multiple homicides.

Running is shit because it's just running.

But the most irritating of all sports is probably horse racing. I'm no vegetarian but it's obviously a decadent misuse of animals who could otherwise be used for filming porn etc Jockeys should be detected in the womb and scraped out before it can go any further. They are horrible little people.
