redspexxx said:it is kinda hard to compare disc to other sports. but one thing, most of the things you listed affect the outcome of games. maybe this is more like a tough pass interference call where a big name wide reciever thinks he was roughed, begs for a flag and gets one. on the last play of the game. this kid does what he did at any other time in the round, he should and probably would get called for it. my view is young, but still, i think a lot of people share the way i feel about my heros and icons, and that is i would rather my hero save the day by slaying the dragon rather than shooting it in the back... metaphorically speaking. ken wasnt really in the "wrong" for doing what he did, but it does kinda take him off the pedestal i put him on. in the end, this really isnt about the rules, its about the opinions. and internet forums rarely change thoseblack udder said:We've tossed around the NFL and NBA, but you know if you're a fan, that every player is out there fouling on 98% of plays. They live by the edict, "if there's no whistle, there's no foul". How do you feel about the infamous NFL's "tuck" rule? The NFL's Bert Emmanuel rule"? These are rules that were created due to a lack of specificity in the existing rules. They changed games and careers.
No sport is perfect, but saying that a player is trying to win on a technicality when he's just asking about a rule is not cheap. Most players don't foot fault or cheat on the course. Most players don't throw their discs in celebration either.
All I can say is if it were me, I'd be looking for somebody to clarify that action as well. It's like the last two minutes in an NFL game when only the booth can call an instant replay and you *know* you see a need, but they don't. In this case, Ken was allowed to call for a ruling.
I'll shutup now.
Yeah I kind of agree ........Climo had every right to make sure the Rules were properly followed by making the call. But it does just take a little bit away of "my" image of him being the Champ. Dont get me wrong Climo will always be the man and I will always look up to him. But not quite the same way as before.
I know its sounds silly but its kind of like John Wayne. In a gunfight he had every right by Law to shoot the villainous criminal in any kind of manner to get the job done. But good ole Duke would never settle for shooting a villain in the back even if the rules say he could. He would always, with a heart of a lion , face him man to man.
