SPORTS RULES THAT ARE SILLY AND CONTROVERSIAL

IN KYOKUSHIN STYLE KARATE, YOU AREN'T

ALLOWED TO PUNCH PEOPLE IN THE HEAD,

BUT YOU ARE ALLOWED TO KICK THEM

IN THE HEAD

Yea, we know it’s to protect the puncher’s bare hands. 

But if we’re so worried about hurting ourselves,

what about the guy’s head when he gets kicked?

Shouldn’t that be protected too?

Note: it’s combat, we’re being sarcastic.

EVERY RULE OF FERRET-LEGGING

Seeing how long you can hold a ferret in your

pants is in and quite silly.

THE SEEKER AND SNITCH IN QUIDDITCH

Ever since quidditch became an actual sport (we’re

being serious, usquidditch.org), it has become

apparent that JK Rowling never intended for humans

to try playing it. The snitch was just a plot point to

make Harry important, but now on college campuses

people are chasing “snitches.”

THE AMATEUR RULE IN THE OLYMPICS

At least back when it was in effect.

LOSING POINTS IN GYMNASTICS IF YOU

DON'T HAVE PERFECT HAIR

Now you know why every gymnast’s hair looks like plastic.

PENALTY ON THE CROWD IN NFL IF THEY

WERE TOO LOUD

Guess what happens when you penalize the crowd for

yelling to loud? They yell louder! Thankfully, this rule is gone.

DESIGNATED HITTERS IN THE MLB

Because the American League has designated hitters

and the National league doesn’t, the World Series

basically changes depending on which stadium

it’s played in.

LOVE 15, 30, 40

Don’t date tennis players…love means nothing to them.

GOLFERS NOT BEING ALLOWED TO ASK

THEIR OPPONENTS FOR ADVICE

It’s a penalty if they do.
