These Athletes Forced Their Sports To Change The Rules

Almost everyone has witnessed a play in a sports game that should or should not have been allowed and major backlash was seen immediately. Whether it was the banning of dunking in the NBA between 1967 to 1976 or the complete overhaul made to boxing after a tragic fatal incident, these rule changes were implemented for good reason.

Whether you knew why the rules were changed, or didn’t even know that they were changed at all, you can be the judge if they enhance or hindered the sport.
