The USGA and R&A released a new decision to the Rules of Golf Tuesday morning that will limit the use video, but it does not eliminate viewer call-ins. Should such feedback be disallowed to report possible infractions? Our writers weigh in.By WILL GRAYGolf as a sport has plenty of unique characteristics, with self-imposed penalties near the top of that list.It makes for a tricky situation, then, when you try to find the line in the sand where valid sources of information stop in the event that a player misses an infraction.The situation has negatives on both sides. Limit call-ins and you could potentially have a tainted title if a player goes un-penalized for what in hindsight is a clear infraction. Let the calls flood in, and you have major titles decided by 8-handicaps on the couch.This morning, the NBA announced that LeBron James got away with a travel on a go-ahead shot in a close playoff win. But that announcement didnt change the outcome of the game. I think thats golfs best option: limit the sources and put the trust in the players and on-site officials, even if it merely serves as the lesser of two evils.
By REX HOGGARDConsider it an early shot across the bow of technology, with the USGA and R&A announcing on Tuesday that the use of video technology will now include a measure of reasonable judgment.Common sense has long been a missing component to the Rules of Golf, and anything that includes more prudence is an improvement. Where the working group appears to have strayed into dangerous ground is in regards to what is labeled information from sources other than participants.Viewer call-ins, emails and social media posts appear to have become public enemy No. 1, with many players criticizing the practice in the wake of the Lexi Thompson ruling earlier this month at the ANA Inspiration.Although it appears the rule makers may be leaning in this direction, not all of golfs institutions share the same sentiment.I dont think we would do away with call-ins, Andy Pazder, the Tours chief of operations, told GolfChannel.com earlier this month. Our current attitude is we will accept information from all sources.Golf doesnt have officials poised with yellow flags or whistles to call penalties when a player, be it intentional or otherwise, runs afoul of the rules. The central tenets of the game require the integrity of the competition to be protected, regardless of where that information comes from.
By RYAN LAVNERYes, but itll require a fundamental change in how golf is perceived. Its always been a game of integrity and honesty and character and sportsmanship and getting rid of viewer call-ins would put golf in the uncomfortable position of being like every other sport.There are blown calls in every sporting event. A lineman commits an obvious holding penalty. A forward commits an obvious foul in the paint. An umpire misses an obvious third-strike call.Wailing against the officiating is part of what makes sports so great, but theres also a serious undercurrent there that whatever happened on the field or on the court has in some way been compromised by human error.Getting rid of viewer call-ins sounds like a good idea in theory, because its not a level playing field with only a dozen or so players shown on a broadcast. But what about when a player commits an obvious penalty like a hold or a foul or a blown third strike coal and is not held accountable?Golf might have to find out if being like other sports is actually worth it.
By RANDALL MELLNo, but put the armchair referees on a clock.When the first round ends, its closed out and becomes official when the second round begins. No viewer interventions can affect the first round once that second round begins. And it keeps going like that, with each round becoming official once the next round begins, limiting viewer interventions to that time clock. In cases where rounds overlap, because of suspended play issues, make a round official as soon as it ends. And make the tournament official once the final scorecard is signed.Thats pretty much the plan Stacy Lewis proposes, and while theres no perfect answer to golfs great armchair referee headache, theres logic and symmetry in giving each round a life of its own.It seems to be all about pain management in dealing with viewer interventions, and 24 hours makes sense as a tourniquet.

What they should do instead is prohibit ultra-zoom-in shots of a player's club and ball that show the club moving a grain of sand (like in the Women's US Open recently) or touching water in a hazard (Zach Johnson in the Master's recently) or any of the other situations where this issue could come up.
PGA TOUR to Continue Allowing Viewer Call-Ins for Rules
Rickie Fowler has publicly called for the end of this rule and Tiger Woods went a little further, tweeting that "Viewers at home should not be officials." Despite the overall consensus that the rule is an inefficient one, the PGA TOUR does not seem ready to have a rules official on staff to review all shots at their tournaments.

Not an expert on tv/anime but I'll give this a shot. Mumen rider is the Everyman character of the show. We can't be Saitama or Geno. They are fantastically overpowered, that is why they are entertaining. Mumen Rider represents the viewer. We all want to be Saitama, defeating enemies with a single punch.

The other shooter landed well behind the net. As a casual viewer, I think they both should have counted. Any dive that causes contact with the goalie after the shooter should be disallowed, but wow, these two disallowed didnt make sense to the causual feild veiwer.
