Things you hate about sports you love

[Your Mom]

The Designated Hitter rule in Baseball. I'm not going to pretend it didn't help us in the World Series with Schwarber being able to play even though he wasn't cleared to play defense but it's a nonsense rule considering only one league uses it. I don't like it but the rules should be the same for both leagues no matter which way they go. My preference would be to get rid of the DH.

Oh, i absolutely hate the Designated Hitter. For one thing, I like it when a team has to weigh the risks of yanking a pitcher to put in a pinch hitter. 

The problem is that the DH isn't always used the way it was originally intended: To extend careers of players who were either too old or had too many career injuries to take the field but could still hit. I don't think any pure DH should be eligible for the Hall of Fame, and I'm done with the sport if they ever add the DH to the National League.

Why are American sports needless complicated?

Another one about footie. The poaching of young talent by moneybag clubs that cynically dodge the rules of signing underaged youth by just offering their parents to move nations, which would naturally include the kid also moving along and 'coincidentally' being able to play for the youth side of that club.

FIFA/UEFA acts like they fixed the problem, teams act like they don't do it, yet it happens way too fucking much still. The worst part is, it's done in such a way that it's practically impossible to stop it.
