Sigh. I will miss his seemingly effortless play of astounding shots and his lack of ego.

These corporations stir more confusion whenever they try to avoid controversies. Do they, as people, miss the good old simpler days? /s

This will divide people, it is perfectly legal but not really the spirit.

So is this a bit like tagging a runner on base who keeps trying to get a head start on their run, in that its allowable but seems shady?

Easy solution: donât leave the crease.
Sure maybe itâs ânot cricketâ because itâs a bit of a trick. But . . . stay in the crease.

Nearly every batter in the short form of the game will take a foot or two, if the opposition think the batter is taking the mickey they will give an informal warning â but they do not have to, it is a rare occurrence and will leave grudges, it looks like the bowler did not discuss it with her teammates.

I wouldnât be surprised if itâs also a trial balloon for flag foorball to replace full contact. While they will deny it as long as they can, eventually either the law or lawsuits over CTE will force the NFL to reduce impact in the sport.
And, to be honest, it will improve the game. Flag football is faster and more fun to watch.

In the bulletin, Duffy wrote that referees in Oregon have to treat boys and girls soccer games differently, stating that boys are better at playing through contact than girls are, and adding that referees need to be more strict about carding girls games.
First off, this is horribly sexist. Second, reality is the opposite. Iâve watched a lot of youth and high school soccer in Oregon. Boys fall to the turf and act like they were shot if they think they can draw a foul, just like their counterparts in professional leagues. Iâve seen girls play through contact that makes me cringe, and I think theyâve learned that because many refs donât call the game as closely. Iâve also seen more fights break out in girls games, and IMO, that is almost always because the refs are letting too much go.

Awesome!
I saw the stats from a solid NWSL game last week, and it really shows the difference between the womenâs game and the menâs. Completed passes for both teams was in the 85% range, shots on goal vs shots were well over 50% - these are the kind of numbers prime Champions League teams would put up - Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich kinda numbers. Easily 10-20% better than comparable MLS teams.
