From the ESPN.com report on Marshawn Lynch's one-game suspension for running onto the field during the Chiefs-Raiders game Thursday.
Jon Runyan, the NFL vice president of football operations, noted in a letter to Lynch: "You made deliberate physical contact with one of our game officials as he was diffusing an active confrontation between players. You were disqualified for your inappropriate and unsportsmanlike actions. Your conduct included pushing the game official and grabbing his jersey."
I have no idea why so many people think diffusing (which basically means "spreading") is the correct word when the obvious spelling would be defusing, from the word defuse.
Loosing for losing also irritates the hell out of me if I'm in that kind of mood.
I neutered a young reporter with a paste-up knife years ago after loosing made it's way into print. That was before the senior editor could defuse the situation.
