Why does everyone hate this game so much?

Or in basketball whether or not something is a foul or whether or not it is a flagrant foul; subjective to the collective referee crew.

Do we always agree with the calls? No. But upon, further consideration, I honestly don't believe there is much that could be done to improve the current rules we have without the degrading the integrity of the game (maybe lessening a few individual penalty values from 50 to 20ish, but only a few if any).
