[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 973514, member: 2426"] Except if you say that you don't like running football and you would like to see more passing, you would get an entirely different discussion, which might be a more meaningful and beneficial discussion. Society today has turned into a tribal conflict. Take a hypothetical example of music fans. Some fans like XY hip hop. Some fans like XZ hip hop. Fans of those different styles of hip hop dislike each other. XY fans say the phrase "red popsicle" and they immediately understand it signifies hate for XZ. When XZ fans hear the phrase "red popsicle" they immediately understand that it is hate directed at them and get angry at their hated rivals. There probably is some story about a red popsicle, but the actual facts of the story probably don't have much to do with hate for each other nor about either side being evil. EDIT: People who aren't heavily into the click of XY or XZ won't understand "red popsicle" and will be very confused by why that phrase leads to such passion. Back to the current discussion. Permutations of offensive formations are only relevant if one uses words incorrectly. There isn't a reason to use -ish to make your meaning ambiguous if you can accurately describe what you like/don't like. Apparently you like the triple option with the tight end in front for a pass more than the triple option with the running back behind for a pitch. Apparently you like the jet sweep more than the rocket toss. There are plenty of people who will argue those plays are more similar than different, but at least you will be having a more meaningful discussion than a love/hate of the "triple-option" discussion will lead to.
