This mailer was so odd and inexplicable, I thought WA Bikes was an astroturf campaign.

Just read the district FAQ. Lots of facts and statements, but still doesn't answer basic question of what real-world problem it solves. If students couldn't get lunch & socialize in their previous schedule, they'd be leading the charge for schedule changes.

This gives me more questions than answers...

Caveat: I don't have a good sense of sample size per official.

I would love to see a breakdown of avg time spent reviewing video per official for VAR decisions. My gut says Ford would rank toward the top. He always seems to spend forever there only to return with some bizarre decision no one understands.

Pulling out of the tackle keeps it from being red, but that is a classic "different rules for goalies" noncall. That's a foul anywhere else on the field. I'd also say Romney decking Rusnàk from behind in the box with no play on the ball was the worse noncall.

Google's lineup had a very interesting headshot for "J. Bell"... What!?
