@Fabio9915@Jack_Brentnall Adding a rule does not fix accidental contact. Because, by definition, the player was already not trying to do it. It’s inevitable either way. The rule only makes the situation worse.
@Fabio9915@Jack_Brentnall The existence of a rule (even for all of human history) does not prove, in any way, that said rule has any logical basis.
It is flat out illogical. I’m confident that nobody can prove otherwise.
@deelishauz@RKean13@Jack_Brentnall Anything involving humans, competition, contact, and physics, will always result in unintentional harm. It is literally impossible to avoid it, making it an asinine demand on players.
Soccer has created a scenario where they punish players for trying to play the game correctly.
@jasonjjasonson@Jack_Brentnall It’s an illogical rule. Intentions matter. And accidents happen. I completely understand a free kick. But even a yellow card for accidentally stepping in the wrong place while running and being shoved is just not rational.
@RKean13@Jack_Brentnall That’s just an unfortunate reality in sports. Don’t play if you’re not willing to get hurt.
Nobody is defending intentional harm. But it’s clear he was trying to play the ball and accidentally stepped on the guy’s ankle. It happens.
@Peter_Bukowski Packers media and fans attribute EPA rates to Love while trying to fire MLF is the most ironic thing ever.
Understand the stat and you’ll realize that EPA is literally an MLF stat…
@Peter_Bukowski Show me where he attributes EPA solely (or even mostly) to the QB.
Doing so (as you are known for) is a massive misunderstanding of what EPA is…
@thorku I think you’re trying to frame this as “Packers paid almost as much for Watson as Vikings paid for JJ”…. But $7.4M less per year is significant… and in a year or two, JJ will hold out for a bigger contract.
