Any sport, any country...what is the biggest crisis facing the sports world? Is it...
1. six inning starters...
in 1970 there were 879 complete games, last year...18. Wow. 110 million dollars for a guy who faces the lineup just twice. The sport of baseball is dead. Constant pitching changes, no more stars on the mound, good games wasted so the mid-relief guys get bombed...wins turned into loses. Baseball crisis.
2. cars are too easy to drive...
Formula One, NASCAR, Indy cars...the car is just a video game car, press a button and it goes where you want it. Engineers are the drivers. There is no longer a difference in talent between drivers.
3. replay
Are you dopes who wanted it happy that you have it? What a joke. Refs refuse to make calls. They don't do their job...just go to the video monitor. And even after the replay reviews they still don't get it right. The ends of basketball games were always tedious and long...now with replay a glacier moves quicker. Who was the ball out on? Let's go to the replay review. let Secaucus decide. Another four minutes wasted.
4. LaVar Ball
This may be the most serious crisis facing the sports world.
5. The Commissioners
Three of the four major sports right now have the worst commissioner in their sport's history. Statistically that must be impossible, but it is so. These douche bags have done so much to destroy their sports and it continues on a daily basis.
6. Who is the heavyweight champ?
Boxing is really only as strong as the heavyweight champ. When no one knows him, no one follows boxing.

i have said it before and ill say it again.
pitchers today have more rigorous workouts and throw harder, increasing injuries. and since pitchers are paid 10 times more than they were in the 70's, teams want to protect their investment
also, bullpen pitchers are FAR better than they used to be. why keep your guy out past 110 pitches and the third time through the lineup where the hitters have a decided advantage when you can have a fireballer throwing 100 to shut them down?

Drugs cheating in all sports.
Corruption in football.
Those are the two biggies.

Drugs, corruption and match fixing.
The NCAA and the College sports are a farce, but it's hardly in a 'crisis'

Baseball has been incompetent for years in the area of marketing their stars. Outside of actual games, compare how much you see Mike Trout as opposed to LeBron James. Similar players it terms of how they dominate their respective sports, but Trout doesn't have any postseason platform. And if you think Trout doesn't have the personality to handle the limelight, I'm sure Bryce Harper does. Look at how well a one year wonder like RGIII was marketed. Who was the last MLB star to be a household name? Reggie Jackson? |

Yes, this has really hurt the game.
A big part of the no-name superstars is that pitch count idiocy. How can a star pitcher become a household name when A) they only go five or six innings (and then the bullpen blows a gem of a start), or B) the star pitcher isn't even allowed to play in post-season! (Strasburg)
