Cris Carter's advice works in all levels of sport, including management. Exactly, Mets pulling this stunt would be the biggest game of that day. Most eye balls on it. I could see the MLB and Manfred wanting you orchestrate something like that to be the biggest talking point in the media that day instead of the NBA. Now it’s for all the wrong reasons and they make the team take the fall to save the leagues face. You hear in the video “this is from Rob” so how else is the GM suppose to react.

The video says it all. "This stays in this room, just the 3 of us (unwittingly over live stream)," and out comes what a thick oaf Manfred is. But noooo, it was this executive who we can levee surface-level-only punishment upon. My ass. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

If the NBA just votes to close up shop, everybody loses and nothing improves. The players have leverage right now. If I were an owner of a pro sports franchise; I would sell now and go enjoy life since there is so much instability with whether games will be played due to COVID, not having fans in the stands, cancellations due to protests etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the athletes saying that's irritating so many people? I don't think I've heard anything that veers from what pretty much everyone in the country with a heart has been saying. I think you'd be surprised by how many heartless goons are out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There could be an MLS team for sale in Real Salt Lake too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I don't know. I'm sure there are some single-digit billionaires who might need the cash flow more than double-digit billionaires. What a gross, unjust world we live in.

Sodboy13 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 The Dell Loy Hansen fiasco appears to be a delightful blending of Donald Sterling and mid-2000s Arena Football. To get Hansen out, MLS may have to pay him in the neighborhood of $300 million, because there's no guarantee RSL would fetch that much on the open market. The league wants $350MM for its next expansion fee to keep the Ponzi scheme rolling, so it needs to pretend its current franchises are worth that much.

So Houston and Oakland did the exact thing yesterday that was being pitched by the Mets but they didn’t come back and the MLB still wants people to think they didn’t plan this and it wasn’t rob manfrets idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Major League Soccer is a Ponzi scheme, why hasn't Don Garber been arrested yet? It sounds more like you're trying to insult MLS without substantial proof.
