Biggest frustration in Sports


Wrestlers in the UFC taking it to the ground. Boring.

Biggest frustrations in Sports?? Males competing on biological female sport's teams because they can't hack it on their own biological sport's team and have to crash the female's and why?? Because they know they're a shoe in to win just based on strength alone over a female and it needs to end, or at the very least, create a category for Transgenders in Sport's: Male, Female & Transgender, otherwise, it's bullshit..

Agree - it shouldn't be allowed.

The inept use of VAR in the EPL.

Edit: Tip for pretending to be British: 'sport', not 'sports'.

That Liverpool goal not being given was a fucking joke!

I thought it was supposed to actually help the ref & linesmen. What a joke.

Yup. The Liverpool non-goal was VAR's most absurd moment to date, but it's pretty much a weekly problem, isn't it -- so what's the sodding point? Takes all the joy out of a goal celebration only to be as wrong as a traditional referee. But with less accountability most of the time.

I was in favour of it. I still kind of am... grudgingly. Other leagues seem to do OK with it. But they should at least suspend it in the Premier League until people can have confidence in the system. At the moment, we have none.

And I feel like the Premier League is the only that overuses it. They feel the need to check every freaking decision.

I'm a Madrid fan but I like watching the Premier League cause it's (usually) fun.

I too was a big fan of VAR at first but it's kinda ruining the fun.

It’s called mixed martial arts for a reason. If you don’t like grappling go watch kickboxing.

How about the prevent Defense and conservative offense in football.

You see it almost every game. Playing regular team A is the lead. Team B hasn’t been able to move the ball all game. Instead of continuing to do what got them there, team A only runs the ball on offense, too scared to pass, and go into prevent mode on defense which allows team B, to go right down the field on them, and let’s them back in the game.

John Madden said the prevent defense prevents you from winning like 40 years ago, and we still see every team do it at the end of every game. It almost feels intentional to make every game go down to the wire.
