100% agreement about NBA basketball… As an example, one or two slam-dunks might be palatable, however as a steady a diet is just about as interesting as stuffing a shopping bag at the market.
It was fun playing the sport into college in intramurals, and the NCAA game was always much more interesting, but even tweaking that with a ridiculously close 3-point line among our other changes have kind of ruined the appeal.

You mean the chest pounding displays after dunking isn’t exciting to you?! The best is when a near 7 footer dunks with no one within 20 feet of him, and still breaks out the primal screams and chest poundage. But at least they usually can’t spend too much time on the fruity celebration, the ball is going up court right after. In Soccer the crazy celebrations by players after scoring a goal is way too much for me, but at least it doesn’t happen 40 times a game.
The absolute worst is the NFL, they break out the fruity self-congratulatory gyrating displays after even mundane plays. The cool NFL players have no way to self police the jerkwads, the nature of the modern game doesn’t allow it.
