How sad is it that I instinctively capitalize the T for Trump these days?
But yes, I did imply that we trump SK. That is not the same as saying "Merica trumps all other countries," which was what you claimed was my implication.

What folks most likely mean is: this is not how it worked in the past. but that's the laziest "reason" in the world
Actually, I despise that excuse. I am constantly re-evaluating what we do and seeking improvements. I'm always looking to change things up. The thing is, in order to do that in a way that doesn't screw it all up you need to still understand how it all works. If Pop Warner didn't understand the rules of the game, the fundamentals, and how to most effectively get the best result, then he would have never started using the forward pass. Understanding the fundamentals and how things operate is a necessity to make improvements.
When you jump into the middle of something and start changing things without understanding how it all works, then you are more likely to just destroy.
