Imagine the seventh game of the World Series decided by a balk call, or the Super Bowl played under protest because the instant replay broke down, or the NBA championship teetering on a technical foul for illegal defense, or the United States Open lost because someone saw a leaf fall on the winner's backswing and telephoned the PGA rules committee only a day late.
Rules were meant to make the game fair, not to make it perfect. With this new influx of rules and revisions of rules, we are strangling competition and making politicians out of our athletes.
