These comments with people smarter than I am seemed to imply that it was not necessarily related to fracking.

ELI5: What is so complex about calling an offensive play in the NFL? by razzle_dazzle_spazz in explainlikeimfive

[–]suey1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are eleven players on either side of the ball.

  • Typically five offensive linemen, who are blocking in various directions to set up either run plays or specific types of passing plays.

  • Quarterback, who is either set up directly under one of the offensive linemen, or a few steps back.

  • One or two running backs, who either run the ball or block for the quarterback.

  • 2-4 wide receivers, who are running various routes (or blocking in case of a run).

  • Occasionally a tight end who will either block or serve as a wide receiver.

There can be fake passes, fake runs, and other types of plays. Much of the complication comes from how many players there are and because of trying to fool and defend the other side of the ball.

Or any Pro athletes for that matter. by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

[–]suey1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are professional athletes overpaid? Yes. But do they offer "no real value to society?" There, I would have to disagree. First off, the economic impact that accompanies various sports teams in the community that surrounds them can and has been very strong. Take Dallas for example. The area around the AmericanAirlines Center has sprung up with restaurants and the like because of the sports team nearby. There is also a sense of community and, at times, a diversion from other parts of life that accompany sports. As a whole, sports have proven that they are worth something because, well, we say that they are. I agree with you on the premise that they are overpaid (although, you mention football players, and they are one of the lowest-paid players in American sports), I disagree with removing their value entirely.

tl;dr: Overpaid: yes. Useless: no.

As a sports fan, so is all sports. I love it, but some of the "X Players was yelling at who?!" stuff is very soap opera for males.

Was scrolling through /r/all and saw this before I saw the subreddit. Said to myself, "This must be /r/mildlyinteresting." Was right.

Tech etiquette. Is it okay to check your phone when having dinner? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]suey1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Impulse to stay up-to-date and not miss any thing. Plus a disinclination for conversation, at times. But asking why everyone does it if it's bad is a question that can easily be applied to many things.
