LFP全球挑戰賽香港站

這個在香港舉行的足球比賽戲碼實在不弱，有兩支西甲勁旅華倫西亞及維拉利爾鬥港甲標準流浪。不過賽制和大家熟悉的循環賽及淘汰賽有所不同；今次賽制是三角賽：每場賽事各打45分鐘，每場比賽勝方會有三分，和波各得一分，而每入一球都有一分。

據報導，原來足總及康文署堅持旺角場不可以進行「雙料娛樂」（即同一個比賽日有兩場比賽於同一球場連續進行），導致華倫西亞與維拉利爾今次不能獨立各踢一場，只能盡用足總及康文署容許的135分鐘進行三角賽，坊間評論直指兩支西甲勁旅來港竟然作如此怪雞賽制安排實在「嘥料」，但流浪會方仍希望球迷多多支持。

何解不可以進行「雙料娛樂」？我搜尋了一輪，只找到一篇去年報導，羅傑承表示，按亞洲足協的職業聯賽指引，不鼓勵聯賽復行「雙料娛樂」，不過應和這次比賽無關；另找到FB一個帖中有人討論時指出，連續兩場90分鐘比賽，球場草地會不勝負荷，可能也有道理。至於賽制方面，三角賽算是正式規範化，倒也不是香港方面亂攪一通。不過，各報導都沒有提及LFP就是西班牙足球聯賽，可說是宣傳上一敗筆。

Trigger warning

WARNING: if you are an educator who got into trouble because of trigger warning issue, please stop reading this post as it might bring back bad memories.

I gotta admit I don't watch enough US news as I was completely unaware of the debate about trigger warning in college course material. I don't even know what the term means until today! Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is certainly a serious illness that no one should ignore. On the other hand, how far could schools go to prevent course material from triggering it in its students? This article against it made some good points: for one thing, it is an inadequate solution to a medical problem. And the cost is huge: college professor will be hamstrung when it comes to picking good material to teach. I am sure its supporters have their counter-arguments too. As a bystander of the college environment, fortunately I don't need to take side.
