Dumbest rule in sports

[WEASEL45]

The two line pass in hockey

[JTrout]

At the professional level, the rule in golf where players must sign correct card. They have scorers with them for gods sake, what the hell are they doing.

There is NO penalty for signing an incorrect scorecard........ as long as it isn't yours! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

You are misinformed about not being able to call "got it" in soccer, at least by FIFA rules.

The worst rule(s) in sports is the strike zone is baseball, which is not enforced under any circumstances.

a close second is not being allowed to use your hands in soccer [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Imagine what that would be like.... oh yeah football. That would be sweet!!! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I've never heard of rule #2 (played soccer all my life).

[jstnrgrs]

If you fumble the ball, and it goes out of bounds, your team keeps the ball except when it goes through your opponents endzone.

[jstnrgrs]

One linebacker must stay "in the box" (this effectivley means he cannot play defence.

Defenders are not allowed to be moving toward the line of scrimmage when the ball is snapped.

One received may move toward the line at the time the ball is snapped.

If a fumble bounces into the side wall, it is concidered out of bounds. (What's the point of the wall if you are still going to have out of bounds.)

NFL: O-Lineman is in his stance. D-End comes charging at him before the ball is snapped. D-End is in the neutral zone. But he has not made contact, so he tries to get back on his side of the ball before it is snapped.

O-Lineman comes out of his stance before the ball is snapped.

D-End is successful getting back.

The ball has still not been snapped. Whistles blow, flags fly.

You make the call: Which player is penalized?

The D-End! His trespassing in the neutral zone "caused" the O-Lineman to jump.

BALONEY! THE O-LINEMAN KNOWS THE SNAPCOUNT! He has no excuse for coming out of his stance.

But the today's version of the rule gives him an excuse.

(I say "today's version", because when I was a kid, this call would go against the offense.)

This rule's sister, the Neil Smith "Stay on your side of the ball, and flinch in an effort to make the O-Lineman jump" rule, is a close second.

Soccer is a great game, no one insult it or you'll have me to deal with.
