That's the first time I've ever seen someone driving a Segway at a sporting event. I'm not trying to contest your assertion here, I just haven't seen it. To me it still seems like a really stupid idea and irresponsible both for the camera person and the employer. Drive this vehicle, but don't pay attention to where you're driving so you can get that 'shot' that you could have gotten had you been walking. Not to stir the pot too much, but if there are thousands of people doing this, I'm surprised other athletes haven't also been assaulted by out of control Segways.

Accepting it and moving on is the only solution. Refs make mistakes and do not see everything.

They have supervisors. You can bring it up with them after the game - unless its something safety related or systematic or incredibly immoral there will likely be no repercussions.

If you want to play you have to accept the authority of the ref for the duration of the contest. On the field you can not beat the ref. Even if you knock him out of the game someone will take his place and you will end up hurting yourself more. All protests after its over. You can stop playing if the ref is dangerously incompetent.

It's fucking tragic. The family got a $16,500,000 payout from the station, but I'm sure they'd much rather just have their mum back.

"Those people that are drinking all that water can get sick and possibly die from water intoxication," Brooks said, to which disc jockeys replied they "were aware of that" and that contestants had signed a release "so we're not responsible."

The organisers openly said that they knew it could kill the contestants but they don't care because they signed wavers so it's their fault if they die!

remember the radio show where they had a water drinking contest?
a nurse called in and urged them to stop, and the DJs laughed it off.
the contest winner died the next day.

I didn't think I 'switched back' to anything. It's been my position all along that the only one in the wrong was the cop, and that his behavior of not talking, while rude in normal society, is prudent, proper behavior when dealing with law enforcement, and the advice given by numerous high priced lawyers.

Part of living in a 'free' society is we must accept the restraints it puts on law enforcement, and the loss of some ability to keep us 'safe'. The founding fathers understood that clearly, and made sure it was clear they intended it to be that way. To paraphrase Franklin, 'those that would give up essential liberty for a little temporary 'safety' deserve neither'. In a free country, in the contest between a citizen's rights and law enforcement's ability to do their job, the citizen should always come out on top, even though that's more dangerous.

Is he really on the 'watch list'? Would that be just because he's an activist? If so, that kind of inclusion is exactly what's made the 'watch list' a bad joke rather than a real tool against terrorism.

Without people putting their freedom in jeopardy to do this kind of 'audit', an audit the cops unsurprisingly failed miserably, the right to not self incriminate (and many others) would be gone...these officers believed it already WAS gone because apparently no one had ever stood up to them before. The camera was necessary because without the proof of the entire interaction, he would NEVER have been released without charges. It sucks ass that we need people to do this, but obviously we do. If we didn't need this kind of public 'testing' (because the cops act properly), this video would be pretty boring and uninteresting.
That's why I don't see him or his behavior as being a 'tool'. Others make cops 'nervous' all the time, people without the resources and knowledge to come out of the situation on top who end up in jail for not breaking any law, but just making cops nervous just because of how they look, or because of their personality, or other factors beyond their control. Hopefully this public 'shaming' will stop others from being accosted over nothing.

Amazing. I didn't think a person could sing that song without digital help.
Really, only one of them wanted her on their team!?! Now I want to see the other contestants they think have more potential than this girl.

Fantastic and right - the Labour party abandoned the people; they were so out of touch that they couldn't even persuade some 16 million people to keep out the nasty party. That's why Jeremy Corbyn is doing so well.

For only 3 quid a Labour supporter can vote for Corbyn in the leadership contest. Take the Labour party back from the career politicians and weathercocks.

And this wins the Shia LaBeouf Motivational Speech meme contest... if there were one.

Should have stopped right after the performance...the rest was like listening to answers in the Miss America contest.

If you're #13, you went in to destroy shit and be awesome, not to win a dick measurement contest. I don't know any of the "winners", only this.

I can't tell who won the showboat contest.

I never realized the ladies got into head butting contests.

Did they just ignore all the other contestants because the host wanted her to keep spinning?
(I would have)

Norway's national debt is $116B US dollars with a population of 5 million. That's $223,000 per person, man, woman and child. So that child that you got 10 months off for, is born owing $223,000.
Compare that to the US, which has a per person debt of $56,000.

So...way to go, Norway!!!

Sounds like a great plan!

and of course, it continues to rise (national debt)

What is it about socialism that requires that people pay for something they are not getting?

Why should you get paid for not doing work? Your country is like a child's art contest...everyone gets a ribbon.
