How was that not a turn? Like...what definition of the word turn doesn’t apply to the motion enacted on Rodgers’ head by the hand of the Lions player?
Clearly it’s not a twist or pull. And the rule is dumb.

Agree to not care that much?

Dude...judging by your response, you’re ALREADY annoyed by talking about this issue, and you haven’t been asked about it every day for a week...let alone years.
People’s hypothetical versions of themselves are always sooooo noble, or smart, or reasonable. Meanwhile evidence that those versions are a goddamn lie stare…

You seem like someone who enjoys this schlock.
Don’t you think you’d enjoy it more if folks like Popovich were asked interesting questions, to which they would respond with interesting answers?

Holy Shit I just watched the whole “facemask” play.

It also includes the verb “turn” which seems like it would require a lot less force than a twist. It’s REALLY hard to touch someone’s face mask and not turn the head.

Read the rule.
Note that intent does not matter.
Note that the severity of the grab does not matter.
Then try to tell me that despite it being a slight graze, Rodgers’ facemask was not moved by the Lions player. You literally have to watch a video of Rodgers having his head moved slightly (and then a lot more by the pull…

That facemask also accounts for the blowing of a 20 pt lead, apparently.

What exactly are the two Lions at the 40 and 45 yd lines doing?

“Article 5 No player shall twist, turn, or pull the facemask of an opponent in any direction.”

Intent does not matter.
Severity does not matter.
The only way the call is wrong, is if Rodgers’ facemaks is not turned by the lineman.
Like 90% of the NFL’s rules. The ref didn’t blow it. The rule is poorly written.

PS- If you…
