I played baseball in high school and I still prefer a close game. The one professional game I've been to was on Memorial Day last year, between the Cardinals and the Brewers. The score was 0-0 going into the top of the 10th. My perspective was "Cool! More baseball for my money!" The fact that the Brewers won it in the bottom of the 10th made it better.

Of course, I wouldn't want most games to be that low scoring. But I wouldn't mind seeing more go into extra innings.

Why are fans so averse to ties?

Because it is unsatisfying to watch a tie. "Like kissing your sister" is the popular expression to describe what a tie feels like. I don't have any data on this. I just know that I hate ties, and I've always assumed that most other people do too. I suppose I could be wrong.

But if ties are okay, as you say, maybe they should introduce them into more sports. If a regular season baseball game is tied at the end of nine innings, or maybe ten, maybe they could just call it a tie. They could also introduce ties to golf, tennis, horse racing (who needs photo finishes?), and all of the Olympic sports, among others. There's nothing to keep this from happening, but I doubt that many fans would be happy about it.

Why are fans averse to ties? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? Seriously, get off your super intelligent ass and go play a freaking sport! ANY SPORT!

Do you have any clue how much time and preparation goes into every game? How much blood, sweat and tears are laid down?

Oh, but we should be okay with ... a tie right? FUCK NO! Why? Because as a FAN you appreciate the effort, dedication, the pain the athletes put themselves through to see a team WIN, not tie.

YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME!

Winning isn't everything, its the ONLY thing!

I tried to use tact when expressing this same opinion, but I think the way Zero expressed it was better. LOL
