If you're playing a sport, you should be entitled to play it to the best of your abilities, and not hinder your progress due to the failing attempts from your opponent. However not Everyone sees this way, why is running up the score In professional and minor sports such a large fault?
Realistically, fans and players and coaching staff and just about the majority of everyone else tends to get angry over a NFL team continuously scoring after they're up by 25 points, or a basketball team relentlessly driving the ball in a complete domination. I don't think this should be the case. Everyone needs to put into perspective that when you're playing a sport against an opponent, your generally not there to play nice. Professional athletes are being paid millions to play a sport, yet people loathe them for playing to their peek potential.
When it's professional sports, we need to take into account the "professional" aspect of the game. This Is played by PROFESSIONALS, there should never be any chance to run up the score by more than an exorbitant amount of points, and when you can it should serve as a wake up call for the other team. Really, there should never be a shut out game In the NFL, you're a professional, not a child.
Speaking of child, what about minor league sports? I've heard more than a dozen times fans heckling coaches for being a bad sport, and your not teaching proper respect. If you have come to play a competitive sport, don't complain when the other team is extremely competitive, and you are helpless to stop them.
Should anyone be pestered for scoring large amounts of points? No. Simply put, it's the point of the game you're playing, score more points that your opponent to win, so why stop them from doing what they're all paid to do?
