Examples of sideline in a Sentence

1. President Trump:

   House and Senate Republican leaders were hoping to be united on tax reform to avoid a repeat of this summer’s ObamaCare repeal debacle. But that plan will be put to the test as the Senate prepares to unveil its version of the tax bill, which reportedly could eliminate popular state and local tax deductions and include additional changes from the House bill. Any big differences between the competing bills could slow or sideline the legislation, though leaders are aiming for swift passage.‘We did things differently this time because of the health care experience,’ House SpeakerPaul Ryantold Fox News on Sunday. ‘We worked with the Senate ahead of time, from the summer on, to put this bill together.’ Senate Republican leaders reportedly are considering the elimination of the state-and-local tax deductions, while the House is pushing only for a partial rollback and still deliberating in committee.

2. Jeremy Larkin:

   Football has been a lifelong passion and it has been a process to reconcile the fact I won't be on that field again, given I've played this game since I was five years old, i'm extremely appreciative of the Northwestern sports medicine and athletic training staffs for uncovering this condition, and for my coaches and the medical staff for always putting my health first. I came to this University to engage at the absolute highest level on the field and in the classroom, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to continue one of those while supporting my teammates from the sideline.

3. Jeff Hanisch-USA:

   I’m human. I have feelings. I was on the sideline, I got upset with myself, because I make those plays. I never show emotion on the sidelines, just because I know that I’m always being watched. A game like this, in a critical time and situation like that, I’m frustrated with myself. I’m not mad at the team, I’m not mad at the play-calling, I’m not mad at Ben for making the throw. It’s all on me.

4. Philippe Collard:

   Morgan Stanley analyst Brian Nowak have a one, two, three punch here : Slowing growth, advertisers are still favoring established platforms and a very, very threatening competitor, probably, people are sitting on the sideline saying,' What do I do with Snap, is it going to be another Twitter ?'.

5. Odell Beckham Jr.:

   You take it [with] a grain of salt because it could get to a point in the game — and I could be frustrated, but really just wanting to pump everybody up. And they see something on the sideline and it's like, ‘Oh, there he is. There's the old, Odell.’ You know what I mean? Like that's just the way that the world works. It doesn't really make sense, but that's what they do. So, I think winning cures everything. That might be the answer. I think winning cures it all.
