Breaking the Rules of Sports, Vol. 2: American Football
America’s most popular sport is in full swing, and what better time to ask whether the game we love could be even better?
In this episode of Motley Fool Rule Breaker Investing, Motley Fool co-founder David Gardner discusses American football with Kimball Crossley, a sports journalist, coach, and baseball scout. The two explore controversial ideas to potentially improve the game. Gardner introduces the episode, noting that football is a dominant force in American sports culture.
Crossley returns to the podcast to challenge some of football's traditional rules and norms. Gardner and Crossley delve into three main provocations: the idea that momentum in sports is largely a fiction, the argument that the quarterback position is overrated, and the suggestion that basketball should eliminate the corner three-point shot to make the game more dynamic.
They emphasize the importance of consequences fitting the actions, both in sports and society, and how this principle applies to their discussion of football.
