The Worst Rule in Sports

There are some pretty bad rules across the sports world that rile fans and athletes alike. The flopping in the NBA, the "touching" a QBs helmet rule, no replay in baseball...all are things that come up every year, get discussed, and once again disappear, but none of those disqualify a star from the biggest event in the world.

Take a look.
