Keep in mind though that the State would need to obtain an injunction, so they'd have to demonstrate that they are likely to success on the...
The law speaks in terms of a "tax-supported facility," not a private facility built on tax-supported/leased land. The Crew's lease specifically...
I was looking forward to the refresh, but I'm not feeling the new logo on many levels. The wings popping out of the badge just doesn't work for...
By the way, saying that they lost "fair and square" is only true if you make a judgment on the merits. Your basis for denying a hearing on the...
Part of my difference of opinion here is that I don't give the LOTG and the Brazil 2014 Preliminary Competition Regs. quite the same weight. I'd...
I agree with all that - including that it was an "unexpected storm". This goes to the larger point, which is that it's silly to be punitive and...
Players couldn't cut at all. When someone was taking a free kick, they had to move a bunch of snow out of the way so that there was someplace to...
How often does this particular situation arise? This whole issue revolves around the uniqueness of our situation in CONCACAF, and how we...
Surprisingly consistent? Yeah, consistently poor with no footwork. I don't know exactly what the referee's visibility was. I do know it was...
I saw the match live when it happened. Putting aside whether the referee should have allowed it to be played, I don't agree that it's comparable....
Alright... peace out. Interesting debate, and back to billing. ;)
As noted above, that's a perfectly reasonable standard to apply to practicing lawyers. You're now imputing this requirement on travelling soccer...
Indeed. Agreed. And this is not a court proceeding. We're talking about a freakin' soccer match, and yet people are expecting players and...
The surface was covered in choppy snow, with line markings covered, and very poor visibility (including for the referee). Soccer is not american...
Could be. There are certainly instances of matches having been played in snow before, but there are also plenty of examples of matches that were...
It's a quaint notion that every participant in a competition should know every rule, but not one that jives with reality. Why have rules? Well,...
Right. Similarly, the decision to give a red card is completely and totally up to the referee. Period. If the referee pulls out a red, then...
Go read the entire body of FIFA rule publications some time. No human being in the world knows them all (not even Jerome Valcke) and, frankly,...
Well, that goes to the merits of the heart of their appeal, which is that conditions were unplayable. If so, the referee should have stopped the...
Must be a new development in the last decade because no schools taught two semesters of civ pro in any 1L curriculum when I attended. As for...
Sure. You can also play basketball on a wet court and hockey on melted ice.
The problem with this argument is that if it were really this easy to find this stuff in advance, as opposed to after the fact that you know a...
How are you supposed to protest before a match that the conditions in the second half of said match are unplayable? In addition to laptops, are...
