Is there some arbitrary point where it’s no longer ok though? Sorry to say, it is part of the sport. Or any sport. You can not like that, especially people that never played sports growing up, but that’s how it’s played all the way through. When you get up by a very comfortable amount, you dial it back. In baseball, not steal bases. In basketball use up the clock. In football run the clock out.
So when a team does something opposite of that, yeah it’s going to ruffle some feathers. Not just from the stale old men, but the opposing players as well.
