@_lm277@schadjoe Buddy acting like fractions of an inch are ‘such a clear advantage’. This is a high speed game. A slight change (see: reversion) to the application of the rule isn’t making a tactical difference. Defenders will still try to trap offside, attackers will still try to drag their run
@_lm277@schadjoe This is exactly how offside had been officiated prior to VAR… attackers are watching defender’s body and same for defenders on attackers. This doesn’t change how players play; it changes the minute application of the rule. This would be a positive change for players and fans.
Gustavo Alfaro, the Paraguay coach, puts defeat down to the "complexity" of the US approach. "They dominated tactically, technically and physically... they create a pentagon in midfield... they have a solution to every problem".
“Huddersfield supporters have made the 4,000 mile journey to Lawrence, Kansas for this match-week 12 bout. The Jayhawks look to maintain their 3 point lead at the top of the League One table”
As much as last night was an indictment of the Democratic Party for misleading party members and the country about the mental acuity and health of the president, the media deserve far more derision and scorn.
I and others were repeatedly criticized by the media for questioning the competency of the president. Among other false accusations, I was accused of spreading misleading videos which clearly showed Biden’s deterioration.
Do you remember the heavily excerpted and edited @POTUS Biden @60Minutes interview where the interviewer covered for the president by saying he was ‘very tired?’
@60Minutes knew.
The @nytimes knew.
@CNN knew.
@MSNBC knew.
Left wing media have had total and complete access to the president, his staff, and his administration.
They all knew, but they told you otherwise. They outright lied to you.
When Robert Hur, the special counsel who deposed the president, said that the president was not fit to stand trial and therefore chose not to bring charges, the media described him as a tool of the Republican Party and character assassinated him.
When the @WSJ recently published a several-thousand-word, carefully researched, front page piece on the president’s mental and physical health, it was described by left wing media as outright propaganda.
Now consider who has been feeding you propaganda.
A favored technique of some of the most evil leaders in history was to mislead the people by constantly repeating the Big Lie.
The Big Lie is so audacious that people accept it as truth because it is repeated so often that how can it be that something so important and material could be an outright falsehood?
In this case the Big Lie was our president’s fitness for office, let alone a second term.
A media organization is not supposed to be a branch of the Democratic Party.
The media have a profound obligation to tell the truth to the American people, particularly about something as critical for the country as the president’s mental and physical health.
People very close to me, my closest family and friends, trusted the media on Biden until the @CNN commentators finally owned up to the truth about Biden last night.
For months I have been accused by many friends and family of being misled by an @X-based ‘right wing echo chamber.’
The sad reality is that one of our most important institutions, the so-called ‘Fourth Estate,’ fourth only after the clergy, the nobility, and the commoners, has destroyed any remaining credibility it has.
Consider how your perception of @POTUS Biden and @realDonaldTrump has been manipulated.
The media can no longer save itself.
A suggestion. Rely on empirical data as much as possible. Listen to what someone actually said, rather than a headline summary or article about what someone said.
Get your news from people who have a track record of telling the truth, people who do so at significant personal cost like whistleblowers.
I follow broad constituencies on @X on multiple issues. That has led me closer to the truth. Citizen journalism has been a much more accurate representation of reality.
Thank you @elonmusk for saving this platform. It gives us a fighting chance to save our democracy.
A missed call late in Saturday night's game between the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys led to an even higher-profile error in what has escalated into the latest and most egregious example that the NFL has an officiating issue.
The latest controversy surrounding referee Brad Allen and his officiating crew -- involving an overturned 2-point conversion by the Lions -- could potentially have been avoided if not for another missed call on the Cowboys' previous possession.
The Cowboys owned a 17-13 lead when they intercepted Jared Goff at the Lions 29-yard line with with 2:05 remaining. Tony Pollard's 7-yard run on the ensuing play was called back after Dallas tight end Peyton Hendershot was called for tripping, setting the Cowboys up with a 1st and 25 on the Lions 44-yard line.
Video of that initial first-down play, reviewed by ESPN, showed that Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson -- not Hendershot -- should have been the one flagged for attempting to trip Pollard.
And the wild thing about this call - If it is a no-call or properly called on Hutchinson....The game is essentially over. Instead, the 1st and 25 put a few more moments in the game.
#Cowboys will travel to California back-to-back weeks:
- #49ers have not traveled since week 2
- #Chargers played at home yesterday, then have a bye into Monday Night Football (14 days rest)
