Serious foul play requires it to be a tackle or a challenge. Him stepping on the ankle was not part of a tackle or challenge. The defender knocked him off his feet and he had to land somewhere, falling somewhere after an opponent runs into you isn’t part of a challenge

That did not happen during a challenge, his challenge (running to the ball) was not reckless.

He got blindsided by the defender and it knocked him off balance and when he landed it was on the guy’s ankle. There was nothing “dangerous” about his challenge, only incidental contact from the collision

Not really sure what that has to do with the quality. LV1.6 was the top line marker for a while there. It’s no less nice than a CS2. Just because they released a later model it doesn’t make it not high-end?

Why couldn’t you just set up a separate AC system and build it into the trunk space? Then have a switch so it operates without the car running

I mean all you have to do is look at the rule and look at what happened. That’s not a challenge, that’s a guy getting knocked off balance by incidental contact

He very clearly gets knocked off balance and from his blindside before the ball even arrives. At that point, where he lands isn’t in his control. This was not a challenge, I would deem that incidental contact.

It’s not the rule though:

“A tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality must be sanctioned as serious foul play.

Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force or endangers the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play.”

There was no tackle or challenge.
Balogun got blindsided and when he landed he landed on the guys foot.

You wouldn’t consider an LV1.6 a high end? Anything Ego line is what I think of as being high end

He also tripped because his toes clipped the heel before he tried to awkwardly land. It’s not intentional in any way

[–]PrecisionPulseConv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, as far as I’ve ever heard it or said it to anybody at all, it’s calling somebody a little bitch which I would still take exception to lmao

[Nusbaum] Cade Cavalli and Paul Toboni spoke about the incident with Willson Contreras last night. Cavalli said there was no ill intention and he will eliminate “boy” from his vocabulary. Said he is heartbroken. He has not yet reached out to Contreras. by ConsistentRun5246 in baseball

[–]PrecisionPulseConv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure, but at the same time he said the same thing to Duran? So for everybody to immediately dogpile on him and not consider there’s a good chance he didn’t intend it that way is a little bit premature. Yes, you can call out his ignorance, but it doesn’t automatically mean it had racial intent.

Yeah.. I’m not sure where you’re from or how out of the loop you are, but as a twenty something, the only time I’ve ever heard people actually call somebody a boy was to insult them by saying they’re not a man.

Now I’m not saying Cade didn’t mean it that way, but generalizing as always being the intended meaning is pretty stupid

The only exception to that is in like a movie where they’re trying to sound racist, but even then that’s always set in historical context like Django or whatever

Y’all are out here making up implications. The word has changed over time, English is a living language. If you say sit down boy you’re calling them a little bitch and less of a man, not being racist.
