So petty it’s jammin me

pretty low from Hailey. Disappointing. She sure isn't going to win any fans that way.

😂as soon as she called it I laughed and told my buddy that she’s gonna get hate for it.

"you can step on your disc but you cant step on your mini" - Steve Rico. BUT She didnt step on it...

This would’ve been so much better if you would’ve explained exactly the rules behind the foot fault. Like what has to happen for a moved Disc to be considered a foot or not by the rules.

It should called but more than one person has to call it. Rules should be followed. No matter if it wouldn’t have mattered at all. Need more eyes on the players when watching… referees??? You got people spotting and calling out of bounds why not call out the players. The people playing shouldn’t have to call out other players that just adds more tension on all the players on that card, so if someone else calls it out you don’t feel embarrassed.

Absolutely terrible call. Disc golf is becoming more and more petty like ball golf and once you take away the casual factor it becomes less fun to play. How in the world does stepping on a slippery disc give you any advantage? She will lose some many fans over this.

Hailey needs to chill and accept, not winning this time...🤷🏻

I think that's just Hailey trying hard to get the call so she can possibly tie or win. that's so inconsequential

She throws a couple pretty bad shots, then tries that. Wow😂

I wish King would enjoy disc golf more. Everytime I see her play she looks miserable. Doesn't she like to smile? She's setting an example for all the youth that watch her. The least she could do is enjoy this wonderful game. Win or lose disc golf is a JOY!

Ridiculous.

King has issues.

Pettiest petty of all pettys from King 😂😂 Trying everything there is but if you aint good enough, swallow it and go for next one.

HK is young, hopefully she grows through this and matures. The proper thing going forward is for people to be quick to forget and move on. The PDGA should change the rule so that the petty foot fault calls dont give the sport a bad reputation. Its one of those ticky-tack rules anyway. You can choose to lay a marker in front of your front edge or leave the disc there. So, when a foot fault occurs on the thrown disc by your foot contacting the disc whereas you could have been allowed another 10" with a mini further forward it just baffles me. The rule should be changed to say that your foot cannot cross the front plane/edge of your marker before you release the disc and that any contact with, or on the disc during the throw is legal as long as the foot does not cross the front edge of the lie before release. Its that front lie that truly matters in all reality because you are allowed to mark the disc at the front edge and move the thrown disc after marking. Theres no advantage whatsoever if your foot bumps the marker or lands on it. Missy did the right thing, they played on and, regardless of if she could have had taken a penalty there or not, she still wins. The real loser here is the PDGA for not having better and more lax foot contact rules that dont allow petty attempts of fault finding to throw shade on the sport.

I'm against players having to call foot faults. I'm sure they could get volunteers to act as officials to call foot faults and time violations.

And this is why disc golf will never be mainstream.

TBH when I saw the throw in this video I thought "oh there's the foot fault". Then you slowed it down and it changed my mind. I don't doubt it was an honest call. When you disrupt your marker as a result of your throw it really looks like a foot fault even if the split second timing of the disc leaving your hand might not make it so.

All foot faults outside of the circle are petty af

Petty petty petty. She got her butt handed to her and then yes in bad taste tainted Missy’s dominant aggregate playoff win. Ugly

Even at real time speed you can clearly see Missy hit her marker long after she released the disc. I’m sure was was just trying what she could out of desperation, but it’s all within the rules, so I have no problem with it. all calls where correct.

I’ve brought this up, and honestly the bigger your foot is the more likely it would happen. Usually people plant, brace, disc comes out then the foot may swivel and hit the mini. But you would have to watch it in slow mo to tell actually what happens.

Richard Petty

It's very easy after the fact with the benefits of camera angles and slow motion replay to say no it was not a foot fault. But throws are happening fast, and if the disc moved that's because her foot touched it, and if her foot touched the disc PRIOR to the disc leaving her hand, then it would be a foot fault. I don't think it's petty, and that is the reason why these things have to be seconded, because there are close calls like this where one person might think they saw something, someone from a different position doesn't. But ultimately this is just another example of precisely why there needs to be professional certified officials making these calls, NOT players, because you can look through the comments and see people hating on Hailey and saying she is being petty for attempting to follow the rules.

Rules need to change to stop this nonsense

I have no reason to doubt that Hailey saw a foot fault. This is why it needs to be backed up. The rules worked like they should. Now as for the rules and enforcement of foot faults in this type of situation where the player is doing a run up, I don't think players should be called unless it is egregious or if it looks like the player did it in order to get an advantage. Same with foot faults coming off the front of the tee pad.

petty on king

HK made a petty foot fault call. Is this even the first foot fault called in the womens tour in the history of disc golf.

"She needs a birdie, hoping Missy is going to take par.' When she's down 2, something tells me that's not quite what she's looking for.

FPO in general is terrible with foot faults. Anyone who regularly watches live FPO coverage knows you'll see MULTIPLE foot faults every single day of live coverage that are never called by card mates. The culture within FPO is really bad about not addressing foot faults (probably because they don't want to call someone out for what they themselves are guilty of).

Get a backbone king

Ain't people on Twitter right now looking at slo mo videos and calling jump putt foot faults?

Every seasoned disc golfer knows that this happens where your foot follows through and hits the disc.....they need to change the size of the area so this doesn't happen.....change the size length wise so as to give more room, but not so width wise because that keeps players from throwing around an obstacle they may be directly behind.....it serve absolutely no purpose to have a player to throw from such a close point from behind the disc

Disc golf drama. I´m bored out of my mind watching this but still watched the whole thing.

Petty, petty, petty.

It’s a balance, you don’t call the first one you see - if someone is being egregious you make the call. Missy wasn’t being egregious and Hailey king is a human being, we’re all selfish

From what I have seen on coverage I don't think Hailey is petty at all. There was movement of the disc but after release. I love watching Missy and Hailey play.

Always been getting kinda bad vibes from Hailey...

This reminds me of tennis when a player is coming down to the end, and is clearly losing. They may request a video review of where the ball lands on a serve or a ground stroke. It’s just them using the options that they have.

Hailey is like that bad mental

So this is a difficult one to say whether it was petty. I do think Hailey was trying to win the tournament, but at the moment it did “appear” she was grasping at air. I think Hailey’s intentions were pure to the game, and it was her responsibility to call a foot fault if she thought it was indeed a fault. I think her caddie confirmed what she saw and then she called it. Being down 3 basically she could’ve said oh well, but she is a competitor and I can’t argue with a will to win. Congratulations to Missy, she deserved it. She threw 4 GREAT shots to seal it. Hailey didn’t even see it coming.

Pretty petty

Hailey is petty af for this.

Honest (but incorrect) call in my book but probably heavy on the subconcious bias. One of my petpeeves is pros ignoring infractions because of the inconvenience of sinking the mood of the group into the toilet so I won't complain about Hailey calling fault there, these calls are nothing unless they get seconded people just need thicker skin if that offends them.

If she genuinely thought there was a foot fault, then fine. It was overruled, so whatever. What's the point of having the rules if when you use them you get called petty?

Bad taste. Foot faults are weak. I' ve only seen a couple foot faults that look like they were advantageous. Mostly scrambling out of bad lies. ( Thickets, or from behind trees.)

Go watch the round and one before. I see so many foot faults.

cant hear you

If it is a foot fault, it doesn't matter how petty it is. The rules don't state you can foot fault as long as it's just a little. Either you have rules and the sport is taken seriously, or you don't call rules and are taken less seriously.

Def petty

Call all you Want. If No One Seconds the Call, its Irrelevant. Pretty Petty Absolutely King was trying to throw Missy Off hoping to go into another playoff. Chicken Shit it What Called All The Kings are Wingnuts Dont Forget Elaine's BS interruption of Tatar throwing her off her game Disc Golf, Putting Especially is 90 Mental

Petty disc was gone telling me I can’t jump off the tee pad after my disc leaves my hand whatever disc was gone she did her rotation nicked her disc boo hooo

Short hair + those glasses = always problem.

i don't think it was in bad taste for Hailey to call it, but I think her ATTITUDE towards the whole thing in general was petty af. "It went up! What do you mean?!"........"Alright whatever" 🙄

IF..... the foot fault was egregious , blatant, helping the person make a shot, then yes. In this scenario, it was ( maybe) and had no bearing ,influence on the shot, or the result of the tourney.

No foot fault. My opinion.

Dont matter disc was out of the hand damn near half way threw flight lol petty

It was petty. I watched it in person. The crowd was in disbelief she tried to pull that

She doesn't know the rules. Lame call if you don't know the rules.

I mean it’s pretty easy to read body language and how she acted during that call I think it was out of petty cause she wanted to win so bad and you can tell in that hug Hailey didn’t want to and usually she would so … I mean respectfully not a Hailey fan anymore

Karma....throws is OB after

From what I've heard this isn't the first time HK has done this. There are tales of her doing this across other tournaments and I'm not sure touring pros are thrilled to have her on their cards. I've also heard she's done some things that should be called that weren't, but maybe with more episodes like this the gals of FPO won't let her slide. Hopefully. If you're gonna dish it, then you better be prepared to take it too.

Not cool!

I will never cheer for HK again. Not only was it petty, it was clearly wrong on video, and there's no way HK could have honestly judged that any contact of MG's foot with the disc occurred prior to release of the thrown disc. When HK is saying on video "the disc popped up" - no, it didn't at all, so why is she claiming it did? She appears to be being dishonest at that point. Look, footfault minutia in disc golf has about as much relevance to the key elements of disc golf as the minute legalities of a throw-in have to soccer. Decent refs ignore tiny debatable throw-in infractions for this reason. Unless you are trampling on your disc or mini, which honestly should negatively impact your throw, nothing has changed but a fraction of an inch of distance on your throw on a minior touch of your foot to the marker. I can understand being a little more strict on the putting foot fault rules, where an inch can matter. I also get the principle of throwing from behind your mark, but if it isn't blatant I'm neither calling nor seconding it.

If Patrick Mahomes was required to call penalties, there would be a lot more pass interference calls. Sure it was petty. Give her a break and stop making competitors police themselves.

I’m not surprised by the petty attempt by hk, I mean how many times have we seen her fake an injury cuz she is playing bad or dnf cuz she is playing bad. She is just a sore loser that’s it. I know this is going g to sound odd but she needs to learn how to lose with class before she can learn to win

Not a ff

Yikes. King being a bit of a sore looser. I wonder if she regrets calling that.

Not petty, desperate. Tho

Foot fault or not - it was called by someone who’s starting to get under everyone’s skin for complaining a lot.

This isn't NAM there are rules. Not petty. From my understanding that is a foot fault bc her foot hit the disc on her throw. I absolutely adore Missy Gannon but I think a call may have gotten missed and side with Hailey King on this one.

Emily got fed on 18 to miss the playoff. Bullshit

petty

Just trying to make money. Sad

I'm not going to use this comment to creep on Missy Gannon. Nope, not going to do it. Sorry

Petty to the point of poor sportsmanship. Missy is such a nice sweet person, and so fair. Congrats Missy!

Super petty. Foot faults happen quite a bit. I feel the main purpose to call someone on it, is if they are gaining an advantage on their lie or if its too obvious to stay quiet. HK was upset and decided to be a Karen. Bad look. Double L

Nate Ryan won.

Petty

If she's consistently trying to call foot faults by the rules, however petty or trivial some may view that, I could maybe respect that. But if she chose this moment to call a dubious foot fault then that's extremely shady.

Should have penalized Hailey for unsportsmanlike conduct with that petty attempt to win a tournament.

No doubt. Hailey showed her true colors.

That's a new low.

Petty gamemanship.

Yeah, that's a d**k move. I get the impression HK has the personality of a rock.

Petty as hell

Lame move

Put a moderator on EVERY card or dont bother calling yourself a professional assosiation.....

Petty AF....

That's some poor sportsmanship. Petty and dumb.

Not enough information to know if it was petty or not.

POS call. I would never cheer for Haley again.

SUPER lame ass move by hailey king. lose a bunch of respect for her because of that. that was not even close to being a foot fault. the disc had clearly left her hand before her foot came anywhere close to her disc on the ground.

It's petty. It's in bad taste. And change the players to being male and ask if it was petty.... play better if you want to win

She needs to learn how to lose with class. She choked away the win and then tries that!?

Missys frisbee moves right when she plants on it. Watch the shadow appear in your video.

POS call. Now I would never root for Haley. She basically lost and tried to overturn it with a bad call.

Baaad sportgirlship... sad. . .
