The fact teams are telling their own players that the owner's just telling a joke, one which said he's "trying to lighten his skin", I'd want out as soon as possible.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 He's only 29. Yeah, he's a few years removed from his peak years in 2013/14, but I'm sure he could thrive in MLS. It would be worth the trip to the US at the very least; our racism here is far less overt. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would also be in a league that has owners who have dealt with black players before, most notably with the teams that are owned by the NFL guys and those owners know how to treat star players.

When I was 17 I was really into how awesome Chris Benoit was. I'm pretty sure that this has informed how poorly my life has gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Fine with me. She’s an absolute trash bag of a human being. We’re better off without her. She backed out with us because we didn’t want to give up that much control to someone who was very likely going to be an absentee owner. Cincy fans are probably going to regret this in the long run. That valuation is absolutely insane, BTW. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

Before the misogyny train leaves the station and Mods fly in, both Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina were terrible tech CEO's but their stock options gave them wealth to do their post C-Suite activities. Granted, Whitman rode eBay's public listing to fame/fortune only to pay $4.1B for Skype but did not buy the technology that made Skype work, but leased it from Skype’s original creators–who were under no obligation to continue the lease. Then couldn't lead HP. They are along John Sculley and Mark Hurd in being bad "old school" tech leaders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much so the Post-Gazette ran a story back in 2010. That was before his takeover of the west coast grocery chain Fresh&Easy from Tesco in '13. He is far from perfect, B.
