Dear America, why do you hate sports ending in draws? Sincerely, the UK

Props to you!  I remember the laughter over here when MLS first started, as we discovered that you guys had added a ridiculous shoot-out to every game (to avoid draws) as they thought crowds wouldn't be able to cope with no winner on the day.

As for baseball, isn't that something crazy like a 100+ game season to decide who gets to play in a 7-game playoff series?  Utterly unfair in a playoff to artificially decide a winner if both teams are evenly matched that day and there are still 6 games left in the series.

I had to look it up, but apparently they stopped the shootouts in 1999.
