I like the things that involve tricks whether it be skiing, snowboarding, or figure skating. Not only does it require athleticism, but it requires skill to be able to pull them off.

As a skateboarder and snowboarder, I find the restrictions of competitive figure skating suffocating. Why the ban on backflips, and yet it's okay to throw your partner into a quadruple spin? (Cuncussion anyone?) Why must tricks be landed on one foot? I'm not necessarily criticizing, just asking and making for debate.

People are always trying to make sports "safer" but the problem is that they usually restrict creative when it comes to sports like figure skating.
Like the NFL is always coming up with more rules on how you can hit someone, but that kind of make sense because even still, so many people get injured.
For creative sports, why not let people gain the skill to be creative? It would be like telling a gymnast that they can't climb higher than two people on top of each other. Just ridiculous and creative restricting.

I hate the rules on hitting players in the head in the NFL. Ask any player in the nfl if they would rather be hit in the head or the knee and every player will tell you the head.

Just watching sportscenter, DBs hate the rule. WRs have said that they don't make money with their head, they make money with their legs. Looking just at this season, Randall Cobb got his knee destroyed on a low hit. He ended up tearing his ACL and some other ligaments. Hits to the legs and knees are far more dangerous than hits to the head.

It seems there were too many concussions happening. But by making high hits illegal, resulting in penalties and even fines, the NFL has made the knees the go to area to take players down. I'd imagine we could see another rule change by next season, but who knows.

This is all because of the lawsuit former players had against the NFL. I think the NFL should just have players sign a waiver stating that they know the risk of concussions and keep playing the way they had been.
