Ultimately, the death of US manufacturing is about this attitude. It's easy to say "buy american or stfu" because virtue signaling is free. But it's hard to actually sustain a business because many Americans simply don't want to pay what it costs to produce things ethically in this country

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

it's only from under center where this applies. Which is just more of a "declare" about who is QB. There's a reason they started enforcing this but I don't remember. bsky.app/profile/dfsi...

I don’t get the rationale though. It’s a backfield player in motion. If everyone else is set, what difference does it make?

I realize you are trying to be unbiased an "neutral," but if it is against constitional law it isn't "bucking tradition."
If a player deliberately injured someone on another team you wouldn't say they were bucking tradition... you would say commits egregeous foul/penalty.

President Trump is bucking tradition and legal precedent in pushing to deploy the National Guard to Democratic-led cities like Portland, Oregon, and Chicago due to what he says is rampant crime and to support his crackdown on illegal immigration.

The whole program was bad. You would think NFL network would want to make a good showing overseas. They didn't show replays when appropriate, and showed others over live plays. Not to mention the audio issues.
I've seen low budget college productions with better quality.

NFL: No clear view of Vikings kick striking Skycam cable

The beloved “Skycam” found itself the center of multiple controversies on Sunday. During the fourth quarter of the NFL International Series game in London between the Minnesota Vikings and Cleveland Browns, Vikings kicker Will Reichard appeared to strike a cable during a field goal attempt, which subsequently pushed the ball wide-right.

Intentional grounding needs to be rewritten... if a QB is in the process of going down then throws and it isn't remotely catchable it should be grounding.
That goes for throwing it at the RBs feet too.

Let us in. Hold ICE accountable. Tear down the fence.

This is what we are demanding from the Broadview ICE facility, and nothing less.

Our leaders can decide whether they stand with the people or with ICE. There is no middle ground.
