* John Carman lost his seat to a woman he motivated to run against him against him. If you are wondering what made her decide to run, it was that he shared a misogynistic image macro about the woman's march.
* Ongoing, non-evil example: Many people will tell you that the level of play in the National Basketball Association is way down from its Magic/Bird/Jordan peak. It is - and it's not for lack of star power. Two decisions meant to maintain continuity are largely to blame:
** The Rookie Salary Cap, meant to prevent such owner foolishness as Glen "Big Dog" Robinson's infamous $100 million rookie contract by putting a limit on how much rookie contracts can be worth (About $5mil a year, for five years, max). This led to a flood of high school players and "one-and-done" college players rushing to the league to get their rookie contracts "out of the way" so they could make the big money, which then led to many rosters full of players who are literally learning on the job.
