When has that ever mattered? 😉

Now you’re catching on.

I don’t foresee NIL having much of an impact on high school football, if any.

Are you sure? Took me a 10 sec. Google search to find this. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-redefined-the-idea-of-2-sexes-is-overly-simplistic1/ There are many such articles in reputable scientific publications. Problem is, many people don’t care about the science. They only use it when convenient to support their real ground of immorality.

But not under the cloak of “morality.”

😥

You mistake my meaning. I haven’t articulated a personal position on these issues. I was merely trying to explain my belief as to why transgenders, gays, lesbians, bi-sexuals, etc., find themselves allied with one another, when they each have their own separate issues. It’s the “common enemy” philosophy. I don’t let terms “offend” me. They’re just words. I believe their perception of the “enemy” is not common sense, but bigotry, ignorance and prejudice.

Yes, an enemy of the various constituencies that make up what a lot of ignorant folks refer to generally as the “homosexual community.” The point in this context is that “Ts” have been lumped into the same category as “L’s,” “Gs,” and “Bs” by the bigots who fail to distinguish between them, and object to them all on basically the same [moral] grounds. All of the alphabet constituencies have, in certain situations, grouped themselves together to fight a common enemy.

As @swordfish would say, “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.”

It’s like he’s just feeding us straight lines. 😂🤣

As an outsider looking in on this issue, the first thought that comes to mind is that the locales with the strictest gun laws are typically urban areas with comparatively dense populations … areas where the market for handguns is characterized by high demand. If the point to be made is that a patchwork quilt of jurisdictions with hard/impossible to enforce laws restricting firearm use or ownership is unlikely to be successful in competing against those market forces, no argument from me.

The problem with the philosophy of “the enemy of my enemy is my friend,” is that it doesn’t require any critical analysis of your new “friend.” All you need to know is that you have a common enemy. Nobody thinks about whether the “cure” is actually worse than the disease which, in this case, it actually may be, IMO. Ponder this: If we had never had a Trump presidency, do you think we’d have to deal with the Biden-Kamala disaster now in progress? Beware the Law of Unintended Consequences.

I heard when you pass away your eyes are the last to go, because they die late. 😂🤣😂

Sort of like “the enemy of my enemy is my friend?”

In other words, there was no critical thinking involved in your support of Mr. Trump. It’s merely reactionary.

They are just as bad.

The weaponization of DOJ. Does anyone think that if Trump had announced a year ago he wasn’t going to run again that this would be happening? Even after his term — in which he won the title of “Most Divisive President Ever” — is over, he continues to be an incredibly divisive force. He should just go away. The country would be better off.

50 years ago as we ran laps in the dark in the bowels of the stadium, none of us even considered that such a thing might be possible. Yet, here it is. Only the second “Western” team to ever win the championship. Great job, guys.

Irish lacrosse has changed a lot in the last 50 years!

One of the great victories in program history. One more step to take to finish the job.

Irish lacrosse headed to the Natty! Only Duke stands in the way now.

Does the IFCA have an official position on seeding?

I would really like to hear - from the perspective of someone who deals with seeding as a routine part of the sport - what are the obstacles preventing seeding in football?

In fact, having “obvious built-in advantages” over competitors is hardly exclusive to PPs. From demographics to socioeconomic factors, no 2 schools are the same. The SF is the best way to address competitive imbalances because it only moves a school up if it has demonstrated that it can use those advantages to achieve disproportionate success in their class. Why on earth would you treat Indy Lutheran the same as you treat Bishop Noll? A multiplier or an automatic class bump are solutions to a “problem” that actually doesn’t exist in many PPs.

It’s all fun and games … until someone comes down with food poisoning.
