* In UsefulNotes/{{Cricket}}, "Mankadding" is used to describe the act by which a bowler stops his (or her) run-up to run out the non-striking batsman. It's named for Vinoo Mankad, who did this twice to Bill Brown during India's 1947-48 tour of Australia -- the first time in a warm-up match, the second time in a Test match. Although such an act is not an infringement of the Laws of Cricket, to some it is considered unsporting and against the spirit of the game. Especially if the bowler did not warn the batsman about their excessive backing-up before doing it (which Mankad had done prior to his dismissal of Brown in the warm-up match).

* The term "mulligan" in golf reportedly traces back to David Mulligan, manager of the windsor hotel and a golfer from the late 1920s. He was the only one in his group of friends who had a car and was thus responsible for driving them through the course. He would get shaken up by a particularly nasty bridge and struggle with the first tee afterward. His friends allowed him a do-over because, again, he was the only one with a car. Hitting a second shot off the first tee became known as "hitting a Mulligan" and was eventually shortened to just "a mulligan".

I won't deny that they've done some very controversial things lately, but this makes it sound like this has always been and always will be a problem with them. It reminds me of those people who say "Pokémon was never good" because they don't like the recent Pokémon games and then played Palworld.
