Question What are some of your pet hates in watching sport

Aside from the obvious the team you have money on not doing well

One in basketball for me......situation something like this..... one, two or three point lead to a team with one possesion time left (15-24 seconds).
The ball is inbounded or about to be and the other team make no attempt to steal the ball or create a turnover, just commit a soft foul. See it all the time.


What for you?

the new stupid ass trend of timeouts before field goal attempts..........never seems to work but i love when they call it and the kicker goes through the motions anyway and misses, then gets another shot thanks to a dickface coach and hits it

like when they jump up and celebrate a first down when they're losing 35-6

Or when a DB makes a big hit and tackle on a WR, huge celebration, but the catch coverted the 3rd and 8

both make me lol

Too many time outs in college basketball. With all the TV timeouts each team gets 10 per half. The last minute of a game takes 20 minutes.

And

Dont let the coaches call timeout. The player with the ball should be the only one able to call a timeout.
