How ****ing hard is it to show you exactly how much time is left in a game.
That is unbelievably stupid. But soccer as a sport is still kinda borderline. Getting there, but borderline.

Why don't you ask the 2006 Detroit Tigers how important fielding their position is to pitchers? If Kyle Lohse doesn't get a bunt down in the 10th inning of Game 6, the Cardinals don't eventually win that game and the World Series.

Paying some beer swilling **** like Jim Thome to sit in the video room for 3.5 hours a night and then look at 20 pitches while at bat four times is a hell of a sight farther away from "baseball" than a hitting pitcher.
Pitchers hitting is the same as kickers tackling. I couldn't care less if I ever see it attempted by either again.

The only reason a pitcher enters a game in the majors is to pitch. Period. If they can hit or field, that's a cherry on top. But no pitcher has lost his job because he couldn't hit or field. Which means that until the end of time, pitchers hitting is going to be a complete crapshoot. And sorry, I don't take joy in watching a pitcher hit .100.

Name another position in any sport where a player is asked to do something so instrumental in a part of the game that had 0% bearing on why he was brought on to play.

I would rather watch Jim Thome square off against a #1 pitcher than watch a grown man flail at a pitch like a little girl.

Because you are basically giving the other team the entire field for a catch that may not have been caught anyway.

In the NBA, you get free throws, which means you still have to earn your way to 2 or 3 points if you don't make the shot. In the NFL, you don't have to earn your way to those 40 yards. It might be a little different if holding rules weren't so damn strict. It would also be easier to take, except that really difficult catches with interference get 40 yards too.

I have never liked the spot foul for pass interference but I also hate that CBs are called for such bogus penalties anymore.

Ties in any sport. You win or you lose. If some team can't manage to win in OT then both teams deserve to lose.

The Possession arrow in any basketball contest above the 5th grade level.

Defensive pass interference as a spot foul.

Offensive holding that is 100% subjective to referee interpretation.

NFHS/NCAA rules prohibiting a "down" lineman reporting as eligible.

The prohibition against using instant replay in top level soccer to determine penalties or goals.

Roughing The Passer, because it's called differently for every QB depending on what team they play for, their salary, public perception, likability and (most disturbing) their marketing power.

What's roughing the passer for Pey Pey is not what's roughing the passer for any random Chiefs or Browns QB. Pey Pey gets a hand graze on the shoulder pad the same instant the ball leaves his hand it's 15 yards and automatic first. Random Chiefs or Browns QB can get hit 3 seconds after the play helmet to helmet and have to leave for a series and it's a great defensive play.

Alright I'm exaggerating a bit but I'm not that far off either.

PI should be a 10 yard penalty.

That would then be the worst rule in all of sports, so it would win this thread.

The rules that protect QB's in the pocket. It's ridiculous. They've taken the fear out of pass rushers destroying a QB.
