When ESPN is covering a championship contending team during the regular season. Said team loses a few games: Drama, drama, drama, will the recover? Do they need to blow up the team? Is he really that good? Then they go on to win a few and they are they most unstoppable team and they can never lose and blah blah blah. They just overreact to everything
That's a lot of words to say when you really meant "ESPN."
And most of us would agree with you :twitcy:
* Golf fans yelling any stupid thing after every shot, just to be heard on TV.
* The White Stripes 7 Nation Army chant - please just stop
* Over celebration from a player from any sport.
* Whistling at the college world series from 2 Vanderbilt fans. If you didn't watch any of it, google it.
and, yes, get off my lawn

Youth soccer pet peeves:
Coaches that park two girls about 5 feet in front of the keeper for defensive purposes and then get mad at them for not having their head in the game
Any parent that feels the need to shout at some 12 year old ref

Basketball and soccer- the softness. Borderline unwatchable for me.
Baseball- Pitchers who take forever between every pitch.
football- players making big celebrations after making routine plays. What other sport do you see where guys celebrate after simply doing there job?
Wrestling- Fans ( hawkeye fans are notorious for this) booing wrestlers who are stalling at the end of matches when they are ahead. stalling is the smart thing to do at the very end of the match if you are ahead.. Why wouldn't you? And why would you boo them for using the best strategy to win within the boundaries of the rules?

The fact that sports has become this:

Even when the calls are screw jobs like the dead-ball three pointer, the blarge, the continual bad calls in the KU game a few years ago, the off-sides kicker on on-side kick, the OSU instant replay, the UT no-forward-progress-not-a-fumble, or whenever else ISU received an apology letter?
When it comes to forums, I really hate people who post their proposed expansion and realignment models.
Athletic cups that are not true to size. I PROMISE I'm not a junior but they must all be mis-labelled. Grinds my gears like nothing else.
Yes, it's all extremely annoying, due to the fact that it's absolute bush league. It's why I can't stand going to live sporting events. The last time I was in Hilton ISU was crushing some garbage team and I still counted roughly 8 people in my near vicinity ******** and yelling about the calls the entire game. Made for a terrible two hours.
Well, you might as well plan on not attending any sporting event, in any sport, anywhere; because fans will let the officials have it when they screw up everywhere. You can go to Wimbledon, the very seat of decorum and you will hear whistles at the chair when they muff a call.
That isn't true at all. There is a large spectrum when it comes to fan behavior and Hilton has definitely cultivated an atmosphere where non stop complaining is tolerated and borderline accepted. It's a personal preference, but you couldn't drag me into Hilton at this point in time, it's just too far gone at this point. I prefer a Wrigley live experience, beer soaked fans that are usually quite a bit more laid back - it fits me better.
The majority of the people at Cubs games don't no what is going on. The go to be outside, see an old stadium, stare at the opposite sex, and drink beer.
Exactly. It's a party that happens to have a baseball game going on, it's my ideal spectator event.
