These Athletes Forced Their Sports To Change The Rules

Jimmy Graham

When Jimmy Graham was one of the New Orleans Saints stars, he would celebrate his touchdowns by dunking the football over the crossbar. While the actual act wasn’t a problem, the fact that he had bent the crossbar on one side and the game had to be delayed while ground staff put it back in place was the problem.

As a result, the NFL wrote it into the rules that this act was considered unsportsmanlike behavior and would result in a 15 yard penalty.
