How about getting beer spilled on you by a fan of the visiting team?

Yes, that is a camera, it sends images to televisions, you've had your whole life to get used to the notion! Try not to show your stupidity on live TV, children are too impressionable and we hardly need to worry about your sorry ass as well as all the other crap out there...

The choice was quite easy for me, I can't STAND watching those ignorant tools waving while talking on their cellphones.Yes, that is a camera, it sends images to televisions, you've had your whole life to get used to the notion!

Has that happened to you? :lol:
Man! I'll consider that a write-in, since it is quite annoying. Unless it was a Cubs fan, then you should feel honored...

Getting beer spilled on you at a sporting event is annoying. Having a visiting fan dump beer on you must be the most annoying thing on the planet.

Well, the reverse happened to me---I was a visiting fan, and had beer spilled on me by a home fan. It was Sonics-Blazers in Seattle this past March, and to make matters worse, the guy was obnoxious. Quote of the night: "Whoa, Portland has Shareef Abdur-Rahim? You've got a pretty good team!" And no, it wasn't sarcasm.Getting beer spilled on you at a sporting event is annoying.

Oh wait, that's not a choice. Halftime interviews with coaches. No coach has ever said anything meaningful during one of these.

I'm comforted by the predictable cliche-ridden mush that coaches and athletes hack up in every interview. It gets really fun when, every so often, someone just breaks down and bitches and curses the other team and his teammates out...

Worst thing in sports? You guys have obviously never seen a Braves game.

I think it is a just and merciful god that allowed only one WS win to the team of the nineties only because of that infernal chop...

Oh, I know about the mass-trepanning that is the Tomahawk Chop...I think it is a just and merciful god that allowed only one WS win to the team of the nineties only because of that infernal chop...

Braves the team of the nineties? The fuck are you talking about, syco? Look beyond your sad memories of Mark Grace and remember - there was a team that won three World Series in the nineties... they beat the Braves twice ... a team with Scott Brosius and Paul O'Neil ... remember now ?

Bill Gates may be one of the richest men in the world, but he is far from the coolest...
The Braves, IMO, had a FAR better team for the duration of the 90's than the Skankees.

More annoying, for me, is being at the game and watching some dumb fucker stand up on his cell phone and wave to someone halfway across the stadium on HIS cell phone. Grr.
THE MOST annoying thing is being told, by some jerkwad in a control room, when I'm supposed to clap. The most annoying form of this ever devised (or that I've experienced, anyway), is playing "If you're happy and you know it" in the middle of a rally. Listen--we paid the $20. If we want to cheer, we'll cheer--if not, LEAVE US ALONE!

the cell phone thing doesn't bother me. If I was on my phone at the park and the guy i'm talking to said, "Hey! You're on TV!" I'd probably wave. Sure, TV's been around for 50 years, but unlike those of you with multiple apperances on Cops, I haven't been on it yet.More annoying, for me, is being at the game and watching some dumb fucker stand up on his cell phone and wave to someone halfway across the stadium on HIS cell phone.

Most of those aren't that annoying. The cell phone behind the plate is, and the Tomahawk chop, but other than that, I don't mind them at all.

It was not mutliple appearances, my episode is just really popular and gets replayed a lot on FX...
Allow me to state, once again, that I did not intend for that box of kittens to come to any harm, and that I did not know that drunken redneck and refute all of his malicious lies....

I have a new thought on the most annoying thing in sports: the TV blackout. Arizona Cardinals fans don't even know what their team looks like, which is probably why they can stomach being Cards fans.
