So what’s the enforcement mechanism here? If the players refuse to take the field, they won’t get paid, sure, but does anything else happen to them?

Would you feel better if the criminal just rammed him with his car? Stabbed him? Poisoned him? Dropped a safe on his head?

I don’t think you can assume not returning = honest. The liars could just hang back to make you think they found an exit.

Does the lying only happen verbally? Isn’t there a possibility that a group doesn’t come back because they’re cursed and “lying” about having found an exit?

Is his show set in front of a green screen? Does he not have access to an actual office?

What’s wrong with just removing the NCAA’s ban on paying athletes? Leave it up to schools to decide who to pay and how much to pay them and how to do so in a way that complies with Title IX and whatever other laws are applicable. I get the appeal of proposing some sort of detailed system, but it just invites

What if I think I don’t have free will?

And I neither suggested you were against parental leave nor suggested I was for it (though I very much am). My point (perhaps poorly made?) was that you shouldn’t look at the end individual beneficiary when comparing two (real or potential) social programs; you should instead look at the program as a whole and ask

Because people having children is (generally viewed as) a good thing for society and social programs (like paid parental leave) are designed to make socially beneficial activites somewhat easier, which necessarily comes at the expense of everyone who doesn’t partake of those services. If you want to equate it with

At the risk of killing a dead joke, I get the character’s motivation for the blackface, I just think it’s odd that the time he wears blackface is also the time he gets assaulted. That’s sort of what we’d expect given the world today (and yesterday and for forever), but there’s no connection made between the two that I

I guess. I just don’t see what’s any different if you skip the blackface.

I have no issue with the use of blackface here, though I’m not sure I understand the point/joke. Like, why did he get so agressively assaulted at the end? Not because he’s black, because his costume fools nothing. For just wearing blackface? Or just going through too many times? I feel like there’s a message here or a

Why would they care if they got fired? They’ve already got a new job lined up and maybe (though probably not, in these circumstances) there’d be some sort of severance.

I guess it’s hard to tell exactly how far away he is at the snap, but I’d guess it’s under 1 yard (or at least that’s the goal) and I think the “in motion” refers to the kicking team (or at least that’s the only time I’ve heard that terminology). If this is the only applicable rule (and there aren’t relevant

I’m sure it’s not illegal since no one on the internet seems to think it is, but does this not fall afoul of the prohibition on lining up directly across from the long snapper? Because he’s not in a three point stance? Because he doesn’t make contact?

She didn’t say one word about the NFLPA or the reduction in his suspension. You didn’t actually watch the clip, did you?

Does he have a nose? That’s by far the creepiest part of this.

“So innocent until proven guilty is meaningless in your eyes?” That’s not what he said. He said he believes her account, but that’s only one piece of evidence and probably not enough to find guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

You can “believe her till she is proven factually inaccurate” without also believing Kane is guilty, much less that he should be convicted. Her testimony is just one piece of evidence and certainly not enough to get a conviction with anything like a competent defense.
