So if anyone is to blame for this "discrepancy", it is the mossback old fogies in the Senior Circuit.
Just my  , and worth every penny. |
Interestingly, it's my opinion that supporting the DH while not supporting instant replay shows inconsistency. Anyone who professes to be a traditionalist while supporting the DH shows a lack of consistency. Seems logical to me.
Of course, by this logic, I am acknowledging that my support of replay while not supporting the DH is inconsistent. I don't really care! I am of the opinion that everyone is entitled to an opinion, and while some may think some opinions lack some sort of internal logical consistency, I am of the opinion that is just their opinion.

No, and to clarify I am certainly not upset. I have no idea what gave you that impression.
But, to your point, to the best of my knowledge the rules of football were never changed to either allow, disallow, or make mandatory two-way players. Teams/Coaches/Players played both ways by choice, not by rule.
IMHO, you're arguing apples and oranges.
