I think one of the main reasons for trashing it, is the endless fake fouls. The constant sight of players falling and grabbing their leg as if they’d been shot, the seeing a replay and seeing that there was NO contact, AT ALL. It’s the epitome of poor sportsmanship.
Maybe other people have other reasons, but that’s the reason I cannot stand to watch that stupid sport. Even though I do appreciate and enjoy the great skill and plays, I cannot stomach the fake “Oh, I’m in agony” b.s., followed by that same player running at full speed 15 seconds later.
It’s a sport full of deceit and lousy sportsmanship. If you’re going to win, then win, without trying to gain an advantage by essentially lying.
Oh, and while I’m on a rant, here’s another thing: a few years ago, there was a player named Suarez - brilliant ball handler and striker. On three different occasions (that I am aware of) he BIT opposing players. And what did their teammates do about it? They whined to the refs. That guy should have had all of his front teeth knocked out by the other opposing players, right then and right there in the field.
Wow, I bet you are fun at parties.
I don’t why you would watch something you hate and trash.
If you don’t like the sport, why watch it, makes no sense.
Corked bats. Spitballs/substance balls. Deflate-gate. Stolen signs/signals. Loose or overly tight rims. Steroids. Blood doping.. etc.
