For once, this complaint is fully justified. She answered the question and said ‘next’ and they’re implying she didn’t answer the question by just saying ‘next.’
I feel like sometimes “out of context” means they didn’t report on additional relevant nuance in an answer but I’m sympathetic to headline authors who need punchy headlines, you can’t have a full 20 minute answer in a headline. But this was a 6 word response and they took the last two and pretended she didn’t say the first 4. That is bad.
It’s probably just a countdown piggybacking on our own satellite systems, at least according to some dude named Levinson I saw on the news. It’s probably nothing.
I know the people who run DD. They have always had trouble and would try sketchy plays to make their festivals happen. They got basically booted from Joshua Tree meditation retreat about 5-6 years ago because their festival was a fucking mess. Like way fucked up. Porta johns over flowing type of fucked.
I think they mean for the standard daily cleaning we used to get included. God forbid they dip into record profits. They’ll pass the extra labor cost onto the consumer
“I don’t think we need to do away with football,” Craddock said. “A lot of people enjoy football, including myself. I just think we need to maybe put more safety measures out there to protect our kids.”
The problem with implementing more safety measures - especially more padding or tougher gear - is that leagues, coaches and even some players start believing they can hit harder because they’re safer now … and that’s not the reality of it.
Take hockey for example. I grew up watching hockey when goalie masks were just that, a mask; there were zero plexi plates surrounding the rink and not one player wore a helmet. Yes there were fights and hard hits, but the players understood that being injured would do nothing for the player and game. So they took it easy on each other (mostly).
Same goes with mountainous highways, where back in the 60’s/70’s there were 2 lanes with a rock face on one side and a 100’-200’ drop on the other. People took care while they were driving because they recognised the danger. Now there’s concrete barriers on the slope side, 4 lanes with concret barriers between direction of travel, and people (especially young ones) speeding like there’s no tomorrow.
Better gear and more rules doesn’t always stop injuries. A change in mindset (like flag football instead of tackle) is a better way to deal with things.
SAFETY? I’m a Pro Life Republican trying to Protect The Children and I don’t need you LIBERAL PUSSIES Changing my kid’s Football! If he dies he dies but at least he won’t die a PUSSY!
Between every yard mattering and giving the kids 30-60 seconds to rest between each 5-20 sec play, there’s just not much that can be done.
It’s inheiritantly unsafe for multiple reasons.
It’s worse to stop, recover, and continue after a hit to the head just to take more.
Ever play is 100% full speed.
Every hit is maximum effort.
Illusion of safety from pads.
You couldn’t design a sport to maximize head trauma and do much better than football.
Ironically rugby alleviates all those issues, and as a result is much safer despite obviously still have some dangers.
Like, I saw a guy get his tooth broken off and stuck in another teammates head. I touched it, it was fucking stuck. But we were in the middle of a tournament and were already going to be down two people. So the guy who lost the tooth drove the guy with his tooth in his head to the ER. We couldn’t spare a healthy person to drive them.
No sport is going to be 100% safe. But to make football safe, it’s not going to resemble modern football in any meaningful way.
Putin could’ve actually improved his country or invested these resources into things like medical or scientific advancements but no, that would be too hard for a pencil-pusher shoved out of sight in an office in the kgb.
