Our friends over at Uncoached have put together a list of things that make no sense in sports, this includes the NBA, MLB, & NCAA. I agree with all of these examples listed here. Check ‘em out.
1) Teams placed into divisions nowhere near their location.- Take the New Orleans Hornets in the NBA. Why are they in the the Western Division? The Toronto Blue Jays are in the AL East. Let’s not even start with the NCAA and the Big East.
2) Men that cannot make foul shots.- If your getting paid millions of dollars to run up & down a basketball court, you should practice your foul shots. It’s the easiest basket to make. You are standing still with no defender in your face & you are aiming at the backboard. How hard can this be? Some guys shoot in the 50% range & that is terrible.
3) The Designated Hitter.- This is an on-going debate between the American League & National League divisions. In my opinion, a pitcher shouldn’t have to hit. What if god forbid they get a ball thrown at them, get seriosuly hurt and break something. There is a good chance that they can never pitch again.
4) All-Star Game Voting.- It’s a popularity contest and it’s not fair to other players, end of story.
