@TomFornelli@BudElliott3@Chip_Patterson the Western Michigan situation gets worse when you watch the entire last drive and realize the Refs added another second to the clock after the Michigan spike to stop the clock bc the refs only wanted one second to run instead of two
@ScottDochterman Here is the thing. Carrington gives up several inches to Cunningham. She is NEVER getting over the top on Cunningham without contact to the head. The clips they show are Carrington getting over guards, its apples and oranges
@BrianSciaretta The difference between going defensive against Mexico and Norway to see something out, and going defensive against the best offensive player the game has ever seen. Tactically, you have to know the best defense is keeping the ball in the other half of the pitch against that guy
@rlhaaland Only in contentious situations like that. Reaction to some pretty nasty racism in the euro leagues that was hidden behind hands just like that between players
@Thepeoplesfool@Greg651 That’s not really how statutes work in the legal context. The maximum length of incarceration has almost no relevance (with limited exceptions) to what elements of proof are necessary to convict someone, yet they are frequently in the same statute.
@BudElliott3 Please address the legal side of this. Without the players collectively agreeing to be bound by the NCAA’s rules, courts are telling the NCAA that it cannot enforce rules against individuals. You can’t have it one way for NIL and another for this without collective bargaining
@ESPN_BillC Truly, it’s more an indictment on the fact that courts have almost unanimously decided the NCAA cannot restrain individual athletes without some form of collective bargaining in place agreeing to enforceable rules. The days of “amateurism” are legally over
The problem here is the same it’s always been with the NCAA. Absent collective bargaining with the players, courts are telling everyone the NCAA’s rules are not enforceable against individuals. Legally, that’s probably right. On its face, it can lead to absurd results…
@KeithMurphy I’m not defending this ruling at all, but the UI and ISU players had this option available and chose not to pursue it (I’m not sure those teams would have brought them back but that’s a different question). I’m not sure an Iowa court does the same thing but they could have tried
@BudElliott3 Agreeing to play a game at Utah and then bitching when you get hit with an 8:15pm start time. I mean what did they think was going to happen?
Hospitals have a lot of lawyers. Doctors answer to their bosses who rely on those lawyers. Lawyers must make decisions based on what the law says. A lot of people who make our laws are actually really stupid.
The “heartbeat” bills (which are deceptively named) are written so ridiculously that they don’t allow for common sense interventions in a pregnancy until it’s too late.
They ARE getting women killed and it is because of what they say. “Pro life” people arguing the lawyers or doctors are in the wrong are dumb and making excuses for policies they support. The doctors and lawyers are being put in an impossible situation where dumb lawmakers are making it legally perilous to take care of their patients.
If you support these laws you have to own their outcomes.
