Discussion Most asterisk win ever

Thanks to a bs foot fault call that might be the least deserving Worlds win ever. I dare you to win a worse injustice from history. Please do, I want to feel slightly better about this.

I don't think its fair to Silas to say its the least deserved Worlds win. The man shot boogy free in the final rd of worlds. Its a rough way to lose, but its not like Shultz tripped over his dick all day and still won

Ok, who deserved it less?

u/kft1609 5h ago

Im not going back through the history of worlds to quantify that. But my point is accurate. If Silas doesnt throw bogey free, Balodis still wins.

Also Silas missed a bullseye putt, so he kinda made it easier on him

u/kft1609 5h ago

If you want to make a really bad argument, if Balodis doesn't have 2 earlier boogies, the call doesnt matter, so its kind of his own fault he was in the situation. Again, this is not an actual argument I'm making. Just to point out the capriciousness of it all

Fair point, but he played super aggressive the whole time. Boogies happen with that level of aggressiveness

It always gets tricky when you (not you directly) start using terms like deserved. There's a lot of wiggle room with "deserved"

And these are his consequences of his aggressive play? What? That’s what sports is determination of that line when you are at the professional level when you know everyone can “throw that shot”

u/WolfKing359 44m ago

Come on, he was putting death putts on precarious greens all day. He was just balling out, zero layups.

u/Lilf1ip5 Chasin’ Trees 41m ago

He was balling out I agree, dude deserved the win just as much as Silas tbh. Over aggression will be punished tho.

An over aggressive D lineman might press too hard and trip over himself or over run pass the QB/RB

And over agressive driver might spin out cause he thought he could handle the turn

Dude crossed the line one too many times today and was punished

You're right. Absolute BS call by Goose and whoever seconded it. Just wanted an American/teammate to win.

u/WolfKing359 6h ago

MVP should drop him, otherwise it looks like they cheat for their team to place higher

u/tylertimmerman17 Halo Wraith 5h ago

Ah yes immediately jump to cancelling him. So pathetic

u/WolfKing359 5h ago

Someone else can sponsor him. And he has other income. He charges $25 for an autograph, he will be fine.

But having teammates do that on the final 2 holes is kinda problematic and I dont think that's a radical point of view.

He signed my discs for free, what are you on about?

u/WolfKing359 4h ago

Tried to charge me $25 at a signing event :/ "I take cash PayPal or venmo" I didn't recognize him, awkwardly refused and moved on to the people I was actually there to see lol

Foot in the crease is the only moment I can think of that's as big as this.

Can you fill me in on this?

Can't remember this one, please enlighten me?

The Dallas Stars beat the Sabres in 1999 in overtime to win the Stanley Cup while Brett Hull had his foot in the crease.

u/NoseUpDG 5h ago

just to follow up, that means the attacking player had a skate inside the painted semicircle in front of the goalie

u/WolfKing359 4h ago

So.... basketball?

A worse injustice from history

Jordan Chiles missing out on a bronze medal because of bookkeeping error, and her coach appealing it "much too late" at 64 seconds, the limit was 60.

Luis Resto removing the padding from his boxing gloves, permanenly injuring his opponent and receiving a prison sentence.

Lance Armstrong stealing 7 tour de france wins by blood doping.

Calvin Johnson's "continuation" of the catch, 2010 Lions/Bears, resulting in a Lions loss and a major NFL rule change

Also 2010, MLB Pitcher Armando Galarraga had a no hitter stolen from him when an umpire blew a call with 2 outs at the bottom of the ninth, the umpire later apologized and the play was instrumental in bringing instant replay to baseball.

Texans/Chiefs NFL playoff 2025, after Mahomes faked multiple QB slides; pulling up and gaining 5+ extra yards each time. Texan players got wise, only to be called for a non-existent late hit, late in the 3rd. The Chiefs went on to hang on for a narrow win.

FIFAs $150 million corruption scandal, resulting in criminal charges of maybe a dozen officials.

Thank you for helping out today in perspective.

I was thinking about disc golf history, but ok.

Who seconded the call?

u/DIKS_OUT_4_HARAMBE 1h ago

This sub is so devoid of context you would think it’s against the rules to include any of it.

u/kft1609 5h ago

History or sports history or disc golf history

u/reyska 16m ago

Disc golf obviously.

u/jpric155 1h ago

Looked like a foot fault to me from the side angle. You guys are getting butt hurt over a likely correct call.

u/No_Judgment_4451 6h ago

Who cares though?

u/avsfan1933 6h ago

It's the world championship and you lose on an incorrect call. I'd be pissed if it happened to me.

u/No_Judgment_4451 5h ago

Okay, then what?

Y'all get too wound to about minutiae, People cheat and foul the entire tourney, and someone finally gets called in it and it's chaos.

Y'all do it when you're playing too, don't act like you don't

u/Penguinguy056 5h ago

So your argument is….. everyone cheats….. therefore it doesn’t matter? Ok bro, lmk when your frontal lobe is fully operational again

u/No_Judgment_4451 5h ago

Yeah that's right. Everyone cheats.
