You're supposed to defend the ball by using your athleticism to fend off your opponents, not by using medieval battlefield tactics to force a siege.

Games evolve over time. Get with it or get behind.

Yeah, this is coming, whether you like it or not. Anyone opposed is just regressive and afraid of trying new things and learning new tools. Probably shitty player anyway and scared they won't be able win matches anymore with their mediocre skills in this new world of siege-powered footie.

You need to think bigger if you want to keep up. Put Siege™®© into EVERYTHING!

[–] Brummbaer@pawb.social 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Better idea yet, just carry the ball in your hand, much easier and can be done by one person..

[–] hanke@feddit.nu 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

Streamlining the game, I like it!

Could mean great savings for team owners. Now they only have to pay one player.

We should also give both players cars, more efficient than running.

I'll call that Auto Polo

Or bumper cars for a good time with friends - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whirlyball

But they don't allow siege cannons and mortars in stadiums :(

Those damn woke are taking our guns away, it is not even modern football without artillery.

[–] luciferofastora@feddit.org 1 points 3 hours ago

They're overrated anyway. The true art of siegecraft will always be in the earthworks.

Detroit add lions to their defense. Denver rushes while mounted. Chicago doubles down on drafting large, hirsute men for their team.

[–] tpyo@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

I had to look up that word:

hirsute /hûr′soo͞t″, hîr′-, hər-soo͞t′/ adjective

Covered with hair; hairy. Covered with stiff or coarse hairs. Rough with hair; set with bristles; shaggy.

Cool!

Bring back the Oilers!

[–] joyjoy@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago

Someone's gonna do this and make the game evolve by making them add a new rule.

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 2 points 1 day ago

you have exactly 10 seconds to leave the field at the nearest point of exit (the sidelines)
