I don't understand it enough to dismiss it entirely.
Unlike those wankers who love to hate it.

That's what makes it a good idea. If the risk is severe injury they'll get rid of the ball.
Agree on the ref shouting too. It never works and looks pathetic.

No it won't. The game is boring because they play so safe to keep possession and take dives for penalty kicks.
Just make all tackles legal. They won't fake injuries anymore because even real ones play on, and they'll move the ball more for the sake of their precious ankles.

True, though I think they went out of their way to get him.

They're mad at the customer alright.
That's the hallmark of an American institution, it makes people blame each other.

What is it with you guys always waking up to drink and piss at night. Just sleep until morning like a healthy person.

Reply to comment by Amateur_Validator in TIL that in a series of experiments in the 1950s, Solomon Asch asked a group of actors and a single test subject what the longest line was in a "vision test". The actors would intentionally answer incorrectly, causing the subject to also answer incorrectly, despite it being very obvious. by Amateur_Validator
Did they add any reward for getting it right? Mob conformity is a sound baseline but people will stab each other over a discounted tv.

Reply to comment by EndlessEmergency in TIL that flight recorders must be able to withstand an acceleration of 3400 g for 6.5 milliseconds and that this is roughly equivalent to an impact velocity of 270 knots (310 mph; 500 km/h). by IchBinKoloss
If engineers are so smart why don't they design the whole plane to these specs.
Thought so.
