Mid-game transfers: a rationale


Recommended Posts

The rationale for allowing unlimited transfers, while also allowing an effectively unregulated "NIL" market, is that players should be able to do ANYTHING that helps them better themselves. ANY limits or regulations are said to be immoral, and probably rooted in "white supremacy". Welp, imagine a player playing on a team that's getting their butts kicked. You can't argue that it wouldn't improve his marketability to simply take off his uniform and walk over to the other sideline during the game. NOW, he's on the WINNING team. It would be MUCH better for the player to be on the winning team than to be a no-good loser. And, since "equity" is seen as THE most (if not only) important thing-whereby "equity" is defined and measured by the equivalence (or lack thereof) of outcomes- allowing all of the players on the losing team to simply leave and join the winning team, it all makes perfect sense!*

*While bitter sarcasm was employed here, this is not really a joke. Using the current rationale, the above IS consistent with the rationale.

Based strictly on the currently employed rationale to justify unlimited, instant availability transferring, why WOULDN'T mid-game transfers be allowed? Set aside the fact that it's an incredibly stupid idea for a moment. Just apply the rationale used for what's currently allowed and examine the idea of transferring mid-game in those terms. Why shouldn't we expect mid-game tranafers to be the next step?

    • I can only speak to my area of familiarity, but sometimes there is an issue of stadium availability and/or availability of referee crews (which is often why the game was scheduled on a Thursday to begin with).  So there can be some underlying logistical issues besides gamesmanship on the part of one of the teams.  
    • I think it all has to do with practice and how many hours you get in before a game. I’m not sure if it’s a rule but I have heard coaches in the past say games had to be postponed down the road because they didn’t have enough practice time. Maybe no school Monday-Wednesday so they couldn’t practice so there was no way to play a game Thursday or Friday. Not sure though. It’s probably a case by case basis 
    • Was Monds hurt at the end of the BTW game? I didn't see him get hurt, but the backup QB was in for the last series or two.
    • And another thing what’s with palm beach and all these Thursday games they like to have @561_Fan we got 3 palm beach district games this season & all of them are on Thursdays.    out of all the years I’ve played for or supported Dillard our games are always on Friday or Saturday.    but yet anytime we play a PBC they be on that Thursday bull. 
    • What I don’t understand is if the game is between to county teams or let’s say Dillard and Garcia and the game was originally set for a Thursday. But it was canceled due to weather that day.    why isn’t it league policy for the teams to play that next day which would be Friday or at worst that Saturday . trying to push a week for further down the line only further complicate things, teams don’t have the same byes and their are other district games to be played.    so if your Thursday game got canceled and all is clear Friday and sat it should be mandatory to play one of those two days or which ever team refuse they forfeit.
