> [@Telemark](#): > > Moron cop thinks he’s part of the game. In college I worked campus security (with brown uniforms, no guns, or police powers) among with the campus police (blue uniforms, guns and police powers) and we all did crowd control during football games just to get as many uniformed people in the stadium as possible. IMHO, this guy should have been given a week suspension without pay from his work. There is no excuse for deliberately bumping into a player. The social contract says that we ask people to respect authority and in return authority acts within constraints. (One game it had snowed and I was working the sidelines in front of the student section. A side judge can over and said something like “You guys will keep them from throwing snowballs, right?” I laughed and said asked if was going to loan us the 82nd airborne. You are trying to control thousands of fans with a few dozen people in uniforms. You need most people to behave and having cops act like assholes doesn’t help. ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > I’d say that even a clothed model can be sexually explicit, depending on pose, gestures, etc. Maybe if they were obviously actively engaged in a sexual act which was clearly visible in the picture. Not just if they’re in what somebody thinks is a seductive pose. To me, at least, “sexually explicit” means that you can see the sex act (or if in print that it’s being described), or see the unclothed genitals in a specifically sexual context. It’s possible, of course, to have a sexual context without being explicit. ---

That’s sexual. But I wouldn’t call it explicit. After all, they do have their Calvins on. (I also think it’s kind of silly. But that’s a separate issue.) ---

Seems that for whatever reason the Texas trooper was walking up the tunnel, the two S.C. players were coming in the other direction and didn’t make room quickly enough for the trooper to pass between them, so he elbowed his way through and turned to berate them. The trooper was evidently offended that the players (not from A&M, mind you) failed to recognize that he was a Very Important Person and were insufficiently deferential. ---

Here’s what transpired: The South Carolina player scored on an 80-yard touchdown pass reception. As he ran through the end zone, he was limping a bit and continued running up into the tunnel. Three of his teammates ran after him, presumably to see if he was okay. As they were returning down the tunnel to the field of play, then the actions that were shown in the above video happened.. ---

I was torn whether to put this one into stupid MFers or Evil MFers, but here we go: [https://www.dailyherald.com/20251117/us-congress-politics/republican-congressional-candidate-confronts-democratic-rival-with-holy-water-and-prison-themed-gift/](https://www.dailyherald.com/20251117/us-congress-politics/republican-congressional-candidate-confronts-democratic-rival-with-holy-water-and-prison-themed-gift/) The scene: a meet-and-greet for candidates from both parties for a couple of Congressional seats and a State Senate seat, being held at the Tikvah Center for Jewish Recovery and Healing in the Chicago suburb of Northbrook. The protag: young, progressive, Palestinian-American Congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh, late in the news for being one of six protestors indicted by the Feds for protesting outside the infamous ICE facility in Broadview. The villain/idiot: one of the GOP candidates for the same seat, Rocio Cleveland. The stupidity/evil: Cleveland confronted Abughazaleh by handing her a supposed “gift bag” > Cleveland handed Abughazaleh a small, red bag and then removed and described each item in the bag. They included a toothbrush Cleveland said Abughazaleh would need “once you are in prison … to protect yourself.” Inmates have been known to use sharpened toothbrushes as weapons. > > \*\*\* > > Cleveland’s gift bag also contained food and other objects, including a bottle of what Cleveland claimed was holy water. Cleveland said she thought Abughazaleh, who is Palestinian American, “(needs) to be baptized.” I’m sure that last one went over gangbusters at a candidate forum _ **sponsored by a Jewish organization** _ in a part of the suburbs with a good-sized Jewish population. 🙄 [Another news account](https://dailynorthwestern.com/2025/11/17/city/across-party-lines-prison-gift-bag-confrontation-disrupts-quiet-candidate-forum/) added that the bag also contained cat food and a pickle, while sparing us Cleveland’s intended symbolism for these objects. ---

You can see that the players actually move apart a bit to accommodate him and had he been a reasonable person, he could have moved a bit and they could have all gotten past each other. But no, he’s got to square up his shoulders and go through them. ---

Definitely - the cop is there to watch the fans, not the players. He shouldn’t have even _seen_ the touchdown - security is supposed to be looking at the stands, not the field. Hopefully he’s permanently barred from security at games in the future. I’m glad #27 was there to guide #8 away from the confrontation.
