 The Nanny State-ification of America is getting truly ridiculous.

 💯😂 
 It’s hard enough to recover an onside kick! Is the justification to prevent injuries? State-ification is an applicable phrase- good one 😆 
 I stopped watching the NFL years ago but that's just fucking stupid.  When are they introducing flags attached to players' waists? 
 yeah but since "sports watching" whilst invaders rape daughters is for, i dunno, 5-year old debauched and lingusitically lobotomized psychopaths, it's kind of implied.

 Is this real? 
 none of this is real... 
 My head exploded 
 I looked it up and it seems like they're trying to make kickoffs function more like normal plays, which seems pretty sensible to me.

It looks like the onside kick rules are a victim of reworking kicks generally, so perhaps some fine tuning over time will help. The idea of only being allowed to do them in the 4th quarter and without the element of surprise is... somehow anticompetitive in my view. Imagine if you couldn't pass the ball unless you declared it to the other team before the play... it's just silly. 
 Do not be tricked into rationalizing for the Leviathan!! 
 What kind of commy bullshit is this? 
 Dumbest rule change of all time for sure. 
 Kamala’s America 😂 
 Kamala would implement new rule to let the other team know what side your onside kicking it to as well 😂😂 
 oh yeah…trump’s america is obese and doesn’t enjoy sports at all. 
 It's a joke that's funny because it's both directionally true and mocking people that actually say this. 
 oh yeah…but do you ~LOVE~ taylor swift⁉️ 
 also, 🥹🙏🤗 ty for the context.  i knew you were joking but actually didn’t fully understand the joke 🤭.
