Sports rec league Pet Peeve's
 

Been playing alot of softball this year in a rec league, witnessed quite a few things that annoy the shit out of me.

People who take this shit waaaaaaaay too seriously. It ain't the majors.

And in my co-ed league there's some guys who purposely only hit where girls are playing. They'll angle themselves towards any girl playing and hit screaming line drives at them and act like they just got a hit off Roy Halladay.

Older dudes in basketball leagues are the greatest. No much rec league but like pick up games at the gym. Wearing the double knee braces and headband fouling the shit out of you whenever you have the ball. Then getting all pissed when a kid half their age scores on them lol

Teams that run full court press in intramural basketball in college :| Or half court traps, come on.

yea, it's ridiculous. I couldn't play in that shit anymore because the people are psychos. I used to play basketball all the time, but then I got so tired of the bullshit and went back to playing competitive baseball again.

softball though lol. Are people seriously like that in softball? it's just people think they are still the shit like they're back in high school football or something

hahah you have nooooo idea man. I have a guy on my team, has the worst batting average by FAR, always tries to hit homeruns and gets mad when he hits a single. Also, bats himself clean up since he's the one who puts the team together. I pitch, so I get kinda pissed if I walk a couple, but I'm not cursing and bitching at the ump like half the pitchers in the league do. The worst is if one of our players hits la line drive at the pitcher, the other team will do it on purpose, which sucks ass for me, since I'm the pitcher.

softball leagues have a lot of psychos playing on them. I stopped playing in them a few years ago because of things Gertner mentioned. The constant complaints to the umps and challenging the calls was the worst.

I just was playing pick up basketball at the gym and some kid called carrying, I was like really? You are going to call carrying in a pick up basketball game? Really?

lol what? did you mean "called" carrying. I thought you just mistyped first, but then you did it again. Or maybe I'm just missing something.

anyway, yea, people just need to play the fricken game. Like I said, it's usually the one's that suck and then act all cool when they pass to the best guy on the team and he scores. Like sucky guy passes to the best guy and he'll score and sucky guy will act like he just made the play of the year every time.

lol wow yeah I meant called, I have no idea how I typed the same mistake twice

I play every year in the Navy base softball leagues.

I swear to god, the old chiefs all get together and like bring in ringers from other bases! They do not fuck around. I heard one guy took orders here just for softball!

And it is co-ed, so guys prey on the chicks. We usually have our 1 girl play catcher, and one day this big fucking Medic from Nigeria came barelling around the bases, and she was standing on home plate watching the ball (it was still being chased down by the outfielders, so there was not even a remote chance for a play at home) and this dude fucking blows her over like a mack truck. SHe must have bounced 3 or 4 times. Knocked out 4 teeth, broke her collarbone and she was bruised and bloody all over. It looked like she was in a train wreck. Then he started yelling at her about blocking the plate while she was down!

Her boyfriend was the 3rd baseman, he tried to fight the guy, but that fucking Nigerian beat the fuck out of him. It was all surreal, watching all this happen at a softball game.

Since that day, I avoid Africans. They do not fuck around. They were kicked out of the league, and we ended up winning the title.

We had a hockey tournament the other day where a couple of friends brought in the own team to compete against each others. Anyway, on one of these teams, the guy brought in his father to play defense. We are all somwhere between 20-30 years old, that guy's father was almost 60. Still, he's the one that kept checking everybody into the board even though we were playing "friendly". Then, when the guy being checked reply, he would drop the gloves and start pushing the other guy. He also had a grey mullet, which made it even funnier, but yeah, he was an asshole, and really just looking for a fight. With guys 25 years or so younger than him.

The worst though is when I play floor hockey with people who dont really have any talent or skill, so they'll use their stick to do all sorts of slashings, pokings and cross checks. Then once they get the ball, they go for a slap shot, but they raise the stick so high that they become dangerous for everybody around. You shouldn't be that careless when you have a blunt object in your hands.

I haven't done much in terms of rec leagues but did play floor hockey like 4 years ago. Drop in and play right. Well I check some dude and he cross checked me in the middle of the back. Like, we have 0 pads on and he gives me a stiff cross check. I turned around and told him if he sticks me again we have a problem. We didn't have a problem.
