The A's revamp is officially underway!
One season left before they head to the new stadium in Las Vegas! 🐘
As a former commander-in-chief, I’ve had the honor of meeting with our nation’s servicemembers and military spouses over the years. Hearing their stories and seeing their courage fundamentally changes who you are, and reminds you what living your values actually looks like. Thank you to all the veterans who have bravely served our country.
@MLBNetwork this is an absolute #lie@GoldenKnights#selloutstreak ended
The @Raiders since moving to #Vegas has been among the worst in attendance in the @NFL, not only that the fans that do show up are not supporting the home team, so no homefield advantage.
Maybe do a little #research and #factcheck #MarcBadain before airing #nonsense and call him out for his dishonesty
Also, why was Badain not asked about his statements regarding @Athletics owner #JohnFisher?
“This town has really transformed into, really, a sports mecca.”
@Athletics president Marc Badain and SVP of Sports & Sponsorship @MGMResortsIntl Lance Evans join #MLBNHotStove to discuss the franchise's relocation to Las Vegas.
He never secures full control and never maintains control, and more importantly B. says "This is also required for a player attempting to make a catch at the sideline."
So lets go through it again for you. Lofton does get firm control of the football as he is in the air, once his feet hit the ground it's a different story the ball begins to move and this is seen at the 6 second mark of the replay, and once again the ruling of incomplete is the correct call.
#ElijaLofton catches the football while in the air and has control, as he gets his feet down, the ball begins to move and he does not maintain control of the football while going out-of-bounds, and was about to drop the football regardless of the defender knocking the football away.
By rule he did not complete the process of the catch, therefore #incomplete is the correct call.
A clip of AJ Brown has also been shared supposedly equating the two plays. It is not the same as Brown has possession, takes at least 3 steps and makes a football move before having the ball hit out of his possession with the football going out of bounds.
"NCAA rules says that it absolutely is " ARTICLE 3. a.
To catch a ball means that a player: 1. Secures firm control with the hand(s) or arm(s) of a live ball in flight before the ball touches the ground, and
2. Touches the ground inbounds with any part of the body, and then
3. Maintains control of the ball long enough to enable that player to perform an act common to the game, i.e., long enough to pitch or hand the ball, advance it, avoid or ward off an opponent, etc., and
4. Satisfies paragraphs b, c, and d below.
b. If a player goes to the ground in the act of catching a pass (with or without contact by an opponent) the player must maintain complete and continuous control of the ball throughout the process of contacting the ground, whether in the field of play or in the end zone. This is also required for a player attempting to make a catch at the sideline and going to the ground out of bounds. If the player loses control of the ball which then touches the ground before they regain control, it is not a catch. If the player regains control inbounds prior to the ball touching the ground it is a catch.
c. If the player loses control of the ball while simultaneously touching the ground with any part of their body, or if there is doubt that the acts were simultaneous, it is not a catch. If a player has control of the ball, a slight movement of the ball, even if it touches the ground, will not be considered loss of possession; the player must lose control of the ball in order for there to be a loss of possession."
