Moderating:

Some people like to use analogies, and i believe that’s allowed. Sports analogies are both appropriate and disconcerting when discussing war.

1. sports analogies may be used in this thread, but please try to recognize and acknowledge that people are dying every day in this war.
2. feel free to ignore any post that uses sports analogies, to especially if they feel callous to you.
3. feel free to report any especially callous posts, as they may fail the “don’t be a jerk” test.

But  
4) please don’t hijack this breaking news thread with a discussion of the history of sports, why sports analogies are or aren’t appropriate, etc.
