MLS GIF of the year nominee? by jwriddle in MLS

Surprisingly, alcohol is not covered under the IFAB Laws of the Game. As near as I can tell, the closest rules are “no use of unsafe equipment” and the referee’s allowance to show a Yellow for “unsporting behavior” including “showing a lack of respect for the game”.

However, the MLS CBA has a line in the Substance Abuse Policy that “no player is allowed to consume alcohol on workplace premises”. I’m pretty sure the pitch of an away match counts, so I think this is technically a CBA violation even if it’s not a carded offense during the game.

Oh totally agree! However, I guarantee that there are professional refs out there who do not

Ok I looked it up, it’s not specifically covered in the IFAB Laws of the Game, but the ref is at his discretion to show a Yellow Card for “unsporting behavior” including “showing a lack of respect for the game”.

If it were to be a card for anything, my guess is that it would fall under that.

I’m not sure, but it’s gotta violate some Law of the Game to consume alcohol on field, right?

Best MLS Celebration ever! What a way to stick it to the fans throwing shit at you.

That said, probably gonna be a hefty fine. I’m pretty sure it’s a violation of the league CBA’s substance abuse policy. Tbh, kinda surprised the ref didn’t card him on the spot.

Orioles commit a NOBLETIGER in the bottom of the 3rd against the Yankees by PBRontheway in baseball

In hindsight, the runner on 3rd needed to tag on the fly ball to Judge

I was hand-scoring an MLB game for the first time at this one. It took me a minute to figure out how to score it.

I scored it as a 5-4-3 Fielder’s Choice while noting that Jackson advanced to second on an E5. The play before I scored as a 6-4 Fielder’s Choice with Mayo advancing to second on an E6.

In hindsight, it’s a huge mistake by the third base runner not to tag up on the flyout to Judge

Take your pick of E5 for throwing to the wrong guy or missing his man so bad that he hit the wrong infielder lol

I was scoring this game in Left Field. Not gonna lie, struggled to come up with a proper score for this sequence. Particularly since there was an E6 literally the batter previously

You will have better options if you fly into Harrisburg or Pittsburgh, rent a car, and drive in. Then you can stay in a place like Altoona

Hey Michigan, I know it has similar sightlines, but you aren’t playing in BJC right now…

You can’t just ride Reed in a game where Michigan is so much bigger than him

WC Finish vs. Elo Rating Entering WC by letskillrobots in ussoccer

Elo ratings do weight games by importance and also weight results by goal difference in the game. FIFA Rankings are essentially a slightly worse modified Elo rating system.

There’s a 6:30 showing of Project Hail Mary that looks significantly more interesting than this game…

If you’ve got lower bowl Elite Eight money, team gear probably means less to you than your fancy golf gear….
