What do you think is the dumbest rule in any sport

Yeah, nothing better than ridiculously obese sweaty men wearing only thongs (and who actually have other people wipe their ass because they can't)  running into each other after throwing salt in the air.  What's not to like about that?  :(

Nothing against our Japanese friends, but I know you spent some time there. Folks think Bills fans get crazy. That has got to be the biggest reaction to the most amazingly strange sport in the world...except possibly the Canadian fascination with Curling.

I compare it to preteen girls watching boybands or Foxboro Mike and his strange obsession with Drew Bledsoe. What can one expect from people who STILL pass out at the thought of Michael Jackson visiting?

The 1/2 the distance to the goaline call in the NFL. Put the ball on the 1 inch line if there isn't enough yardage left.

 

Also the free kickover on an onsides kick if the ball doesn't travel 5 yards in the NFL. Tough titty if it doesn't go 5 yards. You shouldn't get a re-do.

Yeah..rarely but I don't care for the rule.

I think it was Dennis Miller who said instead of throwing the pitches the pitcher should have to escort the batter arm in arm to first base. I like the idea.

The NFL rule I hate is when the offense fumbles the ball near the goal line and it goes out of bounds in the end zone, the the opposing team gets the ball. A fumble any other place that goes out of bounds goes to the team who had possession of the ball last. How is it that a team can fumble out of bounds, the D never even touches the ball, but there is a change of possesion?

 

I think the team who had possession last (in this case, the O) should get the ball at the 2 yrd line, or the point where he lost the ball.

this rule singlehandedly has ruined hockey. It takes away the ability for teams to ref themselves. Instead, they are forced to play that clutch/grab crap. Lets put it this way, if a guy tried to hold down bert, shoney would kick the crap out of him on the next shift. that guy won't tough perrault again. Now, its legal to do all that stuff. I've been saying this about the instigator rule for a while now, but i cannot seem to get to colin campbell quick enough.

 

another "rule" is the part time ref thing in the nfl. In fact, they might be full time now, but i remember that there was a stink about the refs having real jobs during the week so it impaired their game prep. Don't know if this is the case anymore, but if they are part time, make them full time so they can get better.

I was always partial to the public hangings in Naha Prison. They have a nice little stadium where fans can pay something like 1000 yen to go watch and cheer the criminals hung on Saturdays.

 

Of course I don't know of any officials rules, so they shouldn't change a thing.

This is an easy one.

 

The "Dick-Out" rule. You know in golf when your playing from the Men's tees. You get the big dog out, step up to the tee box, take a hack like Tiger, and sure as stevestojan........your ball goes 20 yds and doesn't make it past the women's tee.

 

This is where the "Dick Out" rule comes into play. Section IV, rule 36B, paragraph 3. When any male playing from the white tees fails to hit his drive farther than the ladies tee box, he must finish the hole with his dick out.

 

Fortunately I have never had to do this myself, although many of my golf partners have. :(

College football OT.  I hate it.

 

If they ever adopt this in the NFL, I officially resign as a football fan.

Actually I think that the college OT is better than the NFL OT. There is nothing worse than losing an OT game by a FG without a possesion by your offense...

 

...except losing an OT game when the opposing team returns the opening kick off for a TD!!!!! :(

 

I'm not quite sure the college format is the best but I do think that both teams should have the chance to field the ball offensively.

Rules that I think should be installed or eliminated:

 

 

NFL: Spiking the ball after a play that is not a TD...Should be 15 yard unsportsmanlike

 

NCAA Football: Hash Marks brought in to NFL standard.

 

NHL: Eliminate 2 line off sides.

 

NBA: Less freaking Time outs!

 

Major League Baseball: Anyone coming out of the dugout or bullpen during a fight should be thrown out. Heck the NHL could deal with bench clearing brawls , why cant the babies of baseball do it?

 

NCAA Baseball: Wood only bats!

 

Poker: Yeah I know it's not a sport, but I would love to have the European rule of no talking at the table here in the States.

 

Little League World Series: No batting gloves Please! Who the hell do these guys think they are?

How on earth can nobody have mentioned the DESIGNATED HITTER rule!?! :(

 

There is no rule more stupid in all of sports. Here is our starting lineup...errr, wait, no, we don't want that guy to hit, he sucks, so we'll have somebody hit for him. It takes all half the strategy out of games not to mention lets the pitchers throw at the opposing teams players with no recourse because he doesn't have to worry about being throw at himself. Once the AL starts playing real baseball maybe I'll have some respect for the league...

 

Any rule put in simply so the kinda-sorta fans can enjoy more offense is an idiotic rule.

 

I have to say, college footballs OT system is a pretty close second though.
