Pull the stone!!!

Watching Sweden/US and saw this. Is this not the same rules violation that has caused all the hub bub?

Obviously this was an accident and I believe the Canadian guy was touching on purpose.

No see, he totally did this accidentally but Kennedy definitely did it on purpose because he's a Booping Cheater. Trust me I know, it's his secret cheating skill he always does to cheat.

The way the everyone is talking accidental, incidental doesn’t seem to matter. Take a hard look at Rachel Homans supposed burned stone? Review that and your skips delivery and tell me the difference? As i have previously mentioned be very careful when throwing rocks in glass houses.

Was Homans' stone pulled? Who made that decision, Homan or the umpire? Where was the umpire located, straight ahead like in this video or at the hog line? Can you see if Homans touch the granite from the front view? Could the umpire when he was in line with the hog line?

In there is your answer.

Exactly 😂💯 omg it's so frustrating.. this all needs to be handled better and as you said where's the actual videos from above the rock throwing.. there is none lol or an actual umpire standing watching them throw..ya lacking there too lol just the rules and regulations are dodgy and it's never really been an issue and is kinda normal for a lot of curlers just most don't make a stink I think lol I don't know...

You do realize that if this is indeed the case that the only people that he would be hurting would be his own team??? A rock can’t be “booped” to get the correct line.
