Crowd Interaction
The rule generally results in the most vocal crowd interaction. The cry of Ball!, pleading the umpire to reward the tackler with a free kick is a famous phenomenon in the spectator sport of Australian rules football. The rule is very technical, so many cries for "ball" are not rewarded, but the interpretations are nonetheless fairly consistent.

Famous quotes containing the words crowd and/or interaction:
“Unreal City,
Under the brown fog of a winter dawn,
A crowd flowed over London Bridge, so many,
I had not thought death had undone so many.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Recent studies that have investigated maternal satisfaction have found this to be a better prediction of mother-child interaction than work status alone. More important for the overall quality of interaction with their children than simply whether the mother works or not, these studies suggest, is how satisfied the mother is with her role as worker or homemaker. Satisfied women are consistently more warm, involved, playful, stimulating and effective with their children than unsatisfied women.”
—Alison Clarke-Stewart (20th century)
