Paige said, “The OT rule and football, I think we all agree that this one needs to be removed. The top rule is A fumble’s a fumble, a pick is a pick. In hockey and soccer, offsides. In baseball, we all know steroids should be legal.”
While talking about the infamous overtime rule in NFL, Paige said that it is best if it is removed. The overtime rule has been there in football for quite sometime now and keeps facing criticism time and again. She then talked about how the offside rule in hockey and soccer are arbitrary, and sometimes even dumb.
Moreover, she also discussed the changing role of a coach in the game of tennis. For years, Tennis encouraged players to think on the spot. Unlike most sports, in tennis, the coaches were not allowed to interact with the players during the game. She said, “Hey, let’s have the coach sit down by the player and give them some coaching on the side. I kind of like that idea.”
In addition to this, she also made remarks on the use of steroids in baseball. All in all, Paige boldly presented her views and critiques on these sports and expects to see some change soon.
