I think it's some of both. People want to see controversy. The media is going to feed that for as long as they can.

Like the Eagles song says..."We love dirty laundry".

For the WNBA...it's good. People are actually talking about the league and watching. It's their version of Magic/Bird.

Maybe they'll do a commercial together and end up becoming best of friends? lol
Or do some only fans shit together. That would net them some millions.

It’s dumb if they aren’t going to allow a running start like they used to. They need to come up with a better test for a team to get the ball back. There really is no reason to not allow a running start since it’s just few yards.

Having to declare an onside kick is just stupid. I have more of an issue with that than anything else.

Do you think players are going to accelerate more over 30 yards than 10? There's a reason they measure 10 yard splits for the 40.

I don't get the 1 yard difference, unless it's just to further identify that it's not a standard kickoff?

Does that end the potential rule change, or does it carry on now that the league is involved?
I’m reading that it will be revisited after they add the anticipated 18th game in a year or two.

They were only getting a 5 yard head start over what they are now and when you are trying to track a ball that is kicked such a short distance maximum speed really isn’t the goal.

It's more of an issue on a onsides kick in my opinion. Nobody is trying to block, they're trying to blow up the side of the return team trying to field the ball.

I would like to see the data on those plays, I seriously doubt anyone was getting hurt. It was the high speed blind side blocks on the kickoffs they got away from.

Onside kicks can't be advanced, so there is no need to be careful. All out to eliminate anyone from covering that ball.
