I think you probably just don't like to stretch.

Can you share the source? This seems dangerously wrong.

I see a specific review making the very narrow claim that it can have detrimental effects on power/strength activities immediately following static stretching.

But by and large I'm finding a great deal of evidence for a wide range of other benefits, particularly in range of motion and injury prevention. I can't find anything widely damning, and I certainly don't see any reviews contesting the validity of the very vast body of research supporting the many benefits of static stretching.
