Miss 1-2 games for a couple moderately rough tackles and/or opponent dives, yet get nothing for pushing and threatening an official. It’s sad, but you just have to remind yourself before watching any game, “This sport is a fraud,” and the experience goes much better.

I’d like you to name the players who did *not* intimidate and touch the refs in the case. At least nut shots involve actual contact, as opposed to the most “violent” fouls in international soccer, which often involve little/no contact followed by a 60-second stretcher ride and a leap off of it and back into the game.

There would have been 20 games worth of suspensions handed out had this occurred in any US sport.

Pretty easy to pay someone to cut the feed to the jumbotron until the call is official.

I never said anything about pants-shitting.

Pretty simple. Allow replay for any potential handball goal. No interpretation needed, and would only occur once every 10 games or so. That, or have more than one referee for the largest playing field in sports.

In any other sport, there are consequences for shoving and berating officials *while* they are trying to talk to each other. Soccer is truly special.

Because they wanted to show all 22 players berating and pushing the refs while they tried to make a call. Soccer...still very much a joke.

Yep. All white men are like this guy. And all women named Linda are...bad at generalizing?

Unless you are a card collector, like Cosby.

Hmm. So people are good/bad based on their attractiveness? And you’re an expert at inferring attractiveness from a storyline? How many movies have you seen?

A friend passed out on the subway and was robbed (and yes, this happened). I said, “That sucks. But what the hell did you do to pass out on the subway.” It led to an intelligent conversation about behavior and risk — not some “don’t blame the victim” shouting match. My friend being drunk didn’t make the criminal any…

All these years I’ve spent thinking, “I shouldn’t have passed out in a parking lot,” I should have been absolving myself of any blame? This is the Lindsay Lohan School of Logic.

I’m gonna guess your kids have never done anything wrong in their lives.

Totally normal behavior to pass out behind the dumpster of a frat house. In no way should society limit our right to drink ourselves into unconsciousness.

Also, don’t fucking leave your door unlocked routinely. Getting shit-faced in college is not usually an accident, btw. Locking my door is a hassle and theoretically maybe I have the right to leave it unlocked, but I still do it every day. How does being for door-locking (common sense) make you a supporter of thievery?…

So if I know where the highest-crime neighborhood area is in my city and I willingly walk through it at 3am, I’m not being negligent? In a perfect world, there would be no high-crime neighborhoods and there would be no assaults on unconscious people. Until we achieve this utopia, however, it makes sense to avoid…

So every single thing I have done that blatantly put myself at risk (due to the immoral behavior of others) is not my fault? Good to know. Next time I pass out on the sidewalk and wake up injured with no wallet, I’ll be sure to defend my God-given right to pass out on Jezebel.

For a non-expert, you have a lot of sweeping generalizations.

I see you are (apparently) an expert on exactly what happens every time a particular gender of person passes out on a lawn. Outcomes are not binary.
