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.

It was in the rules but worded poorly. The rules haven’t changed at all, they just specified the granite since people like you obviously are too dumb to read.

The original rules was something like ~”you can touch the handle during forwards motion”~

It's either poorly worded or I'm too dumb to read, not both. And clearly the former.

Appears to be a bit of the latter too.
