When you catch and have as many balls thrown his way, the chances of taking shots are also increased. Many hits aren't overtly intentional or even illegal. Any that are should draw a quick flag. Before long, they'll be calling touch fouls like they do for QB's

>Although both hits described in the article in Saturdays game were flagged neither appeared to be illegal, especially the first one

They obviously appeared illegal to the ref or they wouldn't have flagged it. The reffing was absolute dog shit in that game and these might have been questionable calls, they definitely weren't egregious.

Well, first off, American Football only really exists in America. That's like saying Australia dominates Footy-- no shit.

And I was in Chicago for that 2016 WS win. The insanity was really only in North Side. Half of the baseball fans in the city hate the Cubs. And even more people are completely indifferent to baseball at all.

But, all of that aside, can you think of any sport, or anything else really that would elicit this type of response from a majority of people in the U.S.?

Taken from Wikipedia, its not a date in this instance "9 de Julio Avenue is one of the main arteries of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, capital of the Argentine Republic. It runs about three kilometers in the heart of the city, communicating the transport hubs and the main railway terminals in the neighborhood of Retiro and Plaza Constitución."
