Like, why do all-star QB's get a 41 second playclock, but no one else? This has been happening for decades in the NFL. It's a black and white rule that is not up for interpretation.

Got two things here: Basketball players that shoot 50% (and under)from the Free Throw Line. Come on son. We aren't asking for perfection. Just hit more free throws than you miss. If doesn't matter how awesome you think you are when you brick most of your free throws. That's a lot of easy points you are pissing away.
Every single time an NFL announcer says "They scored that touchdown too quickly". Touchdowns are never a given. Literally the only scenario this can occur is if you are up by 1 and if you took a knee you could end the game.
Otherwise you score that damn touchdown.

Defensive pass interference being a spot foul

Defensive pass interference being a spot foul Yes, especially when it's a borderline call that results in the offense getting like 40 yards. Another reason to watch CFB over NFL.

Shitty team-mates that care more about their stats than if they win. (Most obvious in the NBA) The reason it's so easy to pick on the NBA because once you start paying attention it becomes glaringly obvious. Like dudes that won't chuck up end-of-quarter half court shots because it would damage their 3pt%.

Like dudes that won't chuck up end-of-quarter half court shots because it would damage their 3pt%. Don't forget the patron saint of stat chasing, Ricky Davis. NBA players are the most glaringly aware of their box score to the point that I wouldn't be surprised if they had someone on the staff or a deep bench player who tells the players that need 2 assists for a triple double or that they're 4 points away from scoring 40 because they ALWAYS know on basically every team. Hockey gets that way sometimes only around a hat trick. If a guy has two goals and the net is empty, there's a decent chance he'll be on the ice and a very good chance that guys are going to try and get him the puck even at the expense of their own open shot at a sure goal. It's slightly more endearing.

That's what sets Lebron apart from a lot of other NBA players. He cares about wins more than any personal stats. If anything he can be a bit too unselfish with his ball distribution and trying to get everyone on the court as involved as possible.

The NHL playoff format. It wasn't broken. The MLB wild card game. Make it a two out of three series. Those stupid gimmick jerseys in the NBA.

Among other things, one way MLB drives me up a wall is its marketing. The NBA has them so beat with how they embrace young people, how they got in good with the hip-hop community, the money it puts into programs and how they let players express themselves. MLB's got these exciting young players but they're so focused on tradition and replaying the same old Ruth and Williams clips, it looks uncool. Let them celebrate more, that's one thing the Cardinals fume about I wish they'd lighten up on.

QB Kneels when you're only like 5 points ahead.
You're not being polite by stopping your team running up the score, you're playing like a coward.

MLB not having every team play each other during the regular season. Why tho? MLB not having a tiebreaker system for a 162 game season. Here's a way to fix it:
Add 2 more teams, similar to the NFL's 32 team format. 8 divisions, 4 teams. Have the playoff format 5-7-7-7. No play-in games. 8 division winners, 4 wild cards. Seeded format based on division winners getting top seeds. World Series has the 2-3-2 format to save on costs and make the games more meaningful.
Also, eliminating the All-Star Game homefield advantage rule. So, so, so dumb for a relatively meaningless midseason game to swing a championship series.

The fact that a QB can run at the sideline, every defender knows if they touch him it will be a 15 yard flag so they back off...then the damn QB fakes running out of bounds and gets more yards.
