In case you're unaware of the concept, "first world problems" are relatively trivial or minor problems, especially when compared with serious issues.
So, with that said, what are some of your "First World" sports problems? As in, problems you have but really shouldn't be complaining about when compared to the plight of other teams or sports fanbases.
Mine, for example, is that I can't stand how many primetime games the New England Patriots play every season. I understand it's because networks want the best teams in order to garner the highest ratings, but I hate having to wait around all day Sunday (or all day Sunday and Monday) just to watch my team play. I much, much rather would see them play at 1 or 4.

Earlier this year I was listening to one of the Boston sports talk show hosts complaining about the Red Sox ring ceremony. "The Boston Pops again? It's the same thing every time. It's soooo boring."
And I thought of all the fans in other cities that would cut their nuts off just to see one championship celebration. We get so many we complain about them. That statement right there is why everyone hates Boston.

When fans of big clubs underperforming talk about how tough they have it following thier clubs eg Man Utd currently, Liverpool a couple of years ago.
I mean seriously, you don't know how well you have it. Speak to fans of clubs whos teams have not won a cup in 60, 70 years, maybe even never won a major honour or who spend their time raising money to keep their clubs in business. That's having it rough.

That's having it rough. For real, my mum did that with the mediocre performance of Man United the last few years. I had to remind her that her Leeds supporting kids have had 15 years of disappointment.

I guess a baseball, hockey, or basketball team winning the championship on the road qualifies.
My Penguins never win the Stanley Cup in Pittsburgh.

The Patriots win too many close super bowls. Why can't they blow somebody out for a change?

I’m a San Antonio Spurs fan, literally any complaints I have are first world sports problems.

Can the MLB stop acting like the Dodgers are the greatest team ever when they never win the World Series regardless how good they are.
