What is the Most Controversial Call in Sports History?

[Seaweed]

This is tough to decide

[Seaweed]

I would have to say Tom Brady's no call fumble against Oakland

[Seaweed]

Or Jordan's push off foul in Game 6 1998 winning shot

this and nothing else. the ref awarded a goal.

[ChalkyDog]

Tuck rule without a doubt.

Hand of God also up there, maybe even above the Tuck.

[paco]

The Green Bay Seahawks interception Td play gotta be up there also

[The Kraken]

OU/Oregon

Pac 10 Refs blatantly screwed OU on a late onside kick that Oregon recovered.

The play went to review and the review official ipheld the terrible call on the field. It was 100% obvious it was incorrect.

I believe one of not two officials either retired or were fired as a result

[MickeyMan]

Brett hull Stanley cup winning goal

Schrödinger's Goal.

That was hilarious.

The most controversial call in sports history? hmmm....I think I got go with Giant calling Seaweed a great sports handicapper

[PAULYPOKER]

Steelers vs Lions

Thanksgiving 1998

Is that the extra overtime game or some weird shit like that. Never saw it, just always hear it referenced.

[ProPicker713]

Gallaraga blown perfect game with 2 outs in the 9th

[The Kraken]

The OU player walks away with the ball and after review they still give it to Oregon

Cost OU a NC spot that year

[ChalkyDog]

There was some crazy ass call that went against Pippen. Want to say it was deep playoffs, but I might be way off.

It was a big deal when it happened.

[bobby heenan]

how anyone considers the tuck rule the most controversial ever is beyond me....it did not completely directly effect the outcome of the game.....the call itself wasnt a good one...i can admit...it lead to the patriots scoring a td which lead them to trail 13-10....the raiders then had the ball......with a little less than 3 minutes left( i can fully admit it may have taken wind out of their sails/ changed momentum).....the raiders picked up 7 yards on first down...then had a 2nd and 3....then a 3rd and 1......then failed to convert.....then lechler(a great punter) got off a bad kick even though it was in bad conditions....pats got the ball.....drove to kick a fg to tie in regulation(they kicked fg cause they had no choice)........pats got ball first in ot.....moved ball down the field....in ot ...had ball at raiders 30....had a 4th and 4....rather than attempt fg....they went for it.....and converted.....picked up a first down on a pass by brady.....then ran ball into fg range........again....the game didnt end on the bad call.....raiders had chances

too many idiots look at the actual bad call.....and forget the pats were still trailing and made plays after it to win the game

Drinker it was USSR. Drinker they should of defended the inbound better.

[The Kraken]

Not only did OU recover, not only did the Ou player walk away with the ball but The Oregon ayer CLEARLY touches the ball well before 10 yards

fukk the pac 10/12/16 and their shitty refs

us's only loss in olympic competition in hoops until 1988....just watch this for yourself...its worth the 15 minutes or so....there really isnt anything close to it

[InTheDrink]

they did

the first two times

[The Kraken]

Here the little fukker admits he was wrong and admits he knew he was making the wromg call at the time. Unreal

[Da Manster!]

I still vividly remember Don Denkingers blown call in the '85 world series between St.Louis and Kansas City!...Arguably, one of the worst calls in the history of baseball!..(PS...the only saving grace was that legendary all-star George Brett won a World Series ring)

how anyone considers the tuck rule the most controversial ever is beyond me....it did not completely directly effect the outcome of the game.....the call itself wasnt a good one...i can admit...it lead to the patriots scoring a td which lead them to trail 13-10....the raiders then had the ball......with a little less than 3 minutes left( i can fully admit it may have taken wind out of their sails/ changed momentum).....the raiders picked up 7 yards on first down...then had a 2nd and 3....then a 3rd and 1......then failed to convert.....then lechler(a great punter) got off a bad kick even though it was in bad conditions....pats got the ball.....drove to kick a fg to tie in regulation(they kicked fg cause they had no choice)........pats got ball first in ot.....moved ball down the field....in ot ...had ball at raiders 30....had a 4th and 4....rather than attempt fg....they went for it.....and converted.....picked up a first down on a pass by brady.....then ran ball into fg range........again....the game didnt end on the bad call.....raiders had chances

too many idiots look at the actual bad call.....and forget the pats were still trailing and made plays after it to win the game

i actually meant to say.....the call came after the game was 13-10.....not before it.....same difference....raiders had a chance to salt game away and didnt......

[weirimdi]

1972 was a good example how bad calls were pushed to politics later. the decision of the board had nothing to do with sports.
