@MutCFC @PistL_Pete @chidubemobia They are typically used to stop the clock and avoid penalties, not to give instructions.

The plays are called through a headset to the QB’s helmet. The HC and coordinators are as much players as the guys on the field are.

Think of football as a war game and they as generals.

@MichaelBigEar @PistL_Pete @chidubemobia Players would die or they’d have to pussify the tackling rules, which would make it boring.

They can’t make the play clock too much faster without making it impossible to get into formation on time. You’d also lose pre-snap reads and audibles.

@RichardJGrant @PistL_Pete @chidubemobia Players would die or they’d have to pussify the tackling rules, which would be boring.

[stokes @Hat1Stokes]

@MutCFC @PistL_Pete @chidubemobia That’s not typically what timeouts are used for.

Also, they are not being told what to do, exactly. They are given a general assignment, but every play requires improvisation because you have limited information on the other team’s intent.

@im_jay06 @OrdinaryGrl199 @WUTangKids Take it up with the British, who decided that every ball sport played on foot rather than horseback would be called football.

[stokes @Hat1Stokes]

@im_jay06 @OrdinaryGrl199 @WUTangKids No, that’s we call our favorite sport.

@rosepneumonia @Nickffan067 @plslvamsg @ritagayworths Enjoy your porn!

[stokes @Hat1Stokes]

@rosepneumonia @Nickffan067 @plslvamsg @ritagayworths Depiction of intimacy for the express purpose of arousing the reader IS base. It is no different in that way than filming sex, except for the stigma.

[stokes @Hat1Stokes]

@rosepneumonia @Nickffan067 @plslvamsg @ritagayworths Some erotica could be art, sure, but it is an inherently lowbrow art form when it clears that hurdle because it’s creative motivation is base.

[stokes @Hat1Stokes]

@rosepneumonia @Nickffan067 @plslvamsg @ritagayworths The issue with comparing it to literature, is that it employs those faculties for the goal of titillation, not to say something new about the human condition i.e. (good) art.

[stokes @Hat1Stokes]

@rosepneumonia @Nickffan067 @plslvamsg @ritagayworths How so? The primary purpose of porn, written or otherwise, is to titillate. Comparing it to “literature” is an insult to art.

[stokes @Hat1Stokes]

@rosepneumonia @Nickffan067 @plslvamsg @ritagayworths Erotica is literature in the same way that video porn is haute cinema.

@oxign @DriveAliveMPAC @HistoryWJacob Per 1, sometimes hitting high will get stop a player the shortest by preventing them from extending over you when you get their legs.

As it concerns 2, you want to hit ball carriers and receivers as hard as you can to dislodge the ball to force fumbles and break catches.

[stokes @Hat1Stokes]

@oxign @DriveAliveMPAC @HistoryWJacob They do both. Wraps are more common from behind.

You have to understand two things to understand why players “tackle” the way they do:

1. Football is a game of inches. You want to stop forward progress at all cost.

2. A fumble can win the game for your team.

@RevivalCare @SomeLeftyTroll @UprootedTexan99 You are speaking from a position of ignorance, something your ilk often criticize Americans for.

[stokes @Hat1Stokes]

@JeanetteBotha4 @EbanChenchei @NixN1xx @HistoryWJacob I watch both and Rugby collisions do not come anywhere close to those in football. They are completely different games and the speeds involved are incomparable.

@WilliamdeLanc12 @GuyIsReborn Also, every single one of those “morbidly obese” linemen would thrash you in a foot race of any distance.

[stokes @Hat1Stokes]

@WilliamdeLanc12 @GuyIsReborn I have respect for rugby, but it is an endurance sport and far less violent as a result. Collisions in football are about 3x as forceful than in Rugby, on average. If they didn’t wear protection, bones would break on every play.

@yMimiku Due to said history, black culture has reified and strongly rejects all attempts at reform. Any criticism, even from within, is decried as “anti-black” or a kowtow to white people. I am specifically talking about the solipsistic aspects of black culture unrelated to class.
