try harder to be funny

The Jazz are a real playoff team tho

As others have noted, quoting from the rule book, you’re just completely wrong on this, sorry. Receivers who have caught the ball and not yet gathered themselves and started running are “defenseless players” (see dk38). Would have been a penalty a half second later too.

No. Even if he was a half second later and Sproles had just caught it its still a 15 yard penalty for targeting a defenseless player with a hit to the head.

How was Everett not immediately ejected from the game?

The NFL’s penalizing of players having fun in celebrations is literally the single easiest thing they could fix to get viewers back. Blows my mind why they haven’t. Such low hanging fruit.

You win

try harder

And I haven’t argued they shouldn’t be punished. But maybe, just maybe, a bunch of teenagers being morons doesn’t warrant the full wrath of the frothing blame-casting hoards of the viral internet outrage-shame machine? (which is *exactly* what you are participating in right now on this comment thread whether you would…

Again there’s a difference between saying something in explicitly public and saying something intended to be in a private conversation that you forgot to password protect due to your own stupidity but that wasn’t exactly out there for the world to see given that nobody noticed it for over 4 years.

So then they were douches and also douchey idiots who don’t understand how google works.

They didn’t sexually harass them “on the internet”. They did it in a private email conversation, that was leaked to the student newspaper, and then posted for the world to see.

Good point. I’m just not sure hanging them out to being dragged through the internet hyperventilating viral scorn shame machine (which is a real thing) is as much “real consequences” as would be necessary for a course correction here. Have to think there would have been ways to give them real consequences for being…

Sorry for saying “deliberately”, but your first post came off as exaggerating. The issue is that you were saying that they were told to stop years ago and continued despite explicit orders to stop. I agree that that would have been much worse if that’s what had happened

Where are you reading that they were told to stop the first time? The 2012 email was only given to school officials in the last two weeks. You’re getting your timeline wrong. See this article that broke the story:

Sorry, but you are deliberately misreading the linked newspaper stories. This is not what they say.

I think your timeline is wrong. The original email that leaked was from 2012 but it was only leaked about 2 weeks ago. My reading of the report is that the school only just found out about this for the first time in the last few weeks. What seems to have happened is that they were asked if there had been any similar…

Right. Was this offensive and stupid and immature and bad? Yes, all of the above. But this was also the private conversation among a bunch of teenage boys. There’s been no reporting that they acted on any of this or actually did anything. At worst it looks like what we have here is a bunch of douchey bros making…

Is Harvard doing the minimum? Is there any evidence that any of these men actually acted on any of this and did anything to these women? I haven’t seen that reported.

Its more like the New York, LA, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, San Antonio, Philadelphia, San Diego, San Jose, and Dallas of Canada all in one!
