McDonald’s should be forced to offer lobster...it’s a restaurant and therefore they must conform and not be allowed to have their own rules, menu, approach.
Many of us are old enough to remember the hair-on-fire predictions that free agency would "destroy" pro sports, too.
I wish the masters at Arby's kept their workers under bigger thumbs. All this talk about roast beef makes me hungry, but I still can't get over what they were doing to the horsey sauce.Imagine what newspapers would be if there were no thumbs... one'd have to wade through a few dozen articles - mostly about who has bigger tits, ______ or John Kruk - before finding an off-hand mention of the score of last week's game. Thank God and pasta monsters for the Internet.
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.
I’m confused is Al Gore God, or is he a pasta monster?
red herring. comparing apples to pomegranates here. if you thin ncaa and nike/adidas, et.al. are corrupt now, this will destroy college sports. when bad behavior isn't reprimanded, you will see more of it until it is reprimanded. the ncaa has already been acting like you know what-let's ju$t $ay mama ju$tice ain't blind. $he need$ a new blindfold$
You and chicos have no evidence whatsoever that free agency would destroy college sports. You have opinions. I and others happen to have different opinions.What I said about pro sports was a fact. Many pundits, owners, fans, etc, opined that free agency would "destroy sports as we know them." It was truly a hair-on-fire reaction, and it proved to be false. You might not like the comparison, but it doesn't make it any less of a fact.You are allowed to have opinions, as are the rest of us. It doesn't make your opinions "right." Only if free agency happens will we see who was right or wrong. In my opinion, I would be proven right.But don't worry, rocketman ... it's unlikely to happen any time soon, if ever. In the college sports industrial complex, the generals and politicians are very good at keeping the soldiers fighting wars for them while severely limiting any say that the soldiers have.Hell, the fact that the soldiers have found one little loophole -- the grad transfer rule -- has driven the generals and politicians so crazy they keep trying to close it. Gotta keep the soldiers in their place!
I think it's going to happen very soon. California is going to vote on forcing all colleges to pay players. That will force the ncaa's hand.
Does that mean California will also vote to pay all film, theatre, band, cheerleading, dance, etc. participants too?
This particular bill would allow student athletes to receive compensation for use of their likeness, whether in advertising of video games and the such. If someone wants to pay those students for something similar, I don’t see why that would be an issue
Got it. Was unclear of the details. It still opens a can of worms though. If this is referencing athletes signing outside deals on their own, then what about Grad Students who are prohibited from seeking outside work as a condition of their stipends/tuition waiver? Shouldn't this law apply to them too?If it is in terms of advertising done by the University using their likeness (they are no longer in video games by name, and apparel lists numbers not names), what about other students who are used in University advertising. They aren't compensated either, and in some cases have no idea their likeness was used until they are on TV, as they also sign a waiver by accepting University admission/funds.
Again, I laughed. Cheeks has been banned for fighting every republican value tooth and nail. Pakuni is a literal walking representation of a liberal. But "okay"
Actually, I'm not. Football and men's basketball provides the revenue (both direct and indirect) that supports the other sports programs. The majority of the athletes in those sports are black. The majority of the athletes in non revenue sports are white.And that's not even getting into how many of the non revenue sports have socioeconomic barriers that make it difficult to impossible for kids of the working and poorer classes to excel in.
So women's volleyball will be destroyed if they let men's basketball play instantly after transferring? That's a hell of a stretch. "I did work with these kids daily, yearly, you and 99% of others here didn’t." That's a hell of an assumption. Especially as I've talked about my college days and my professional days a decent amount on scoop.
Many of us are old enough to remember the war on “—————“ was going to fix things and end “—————“ instead of making it worse.
Irrelevant. Stick to the topic, please.
Al Gore is god's god.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
Well, everyone thought he was crazy for pouring resources into chasing down this half-man half-pig half-bear creature, and well... turns out we were the fools on that one.
Not at all, and purposely left blank because you can fit in any number of 100's of things in those blanks that were going to be "solved" if we just throw more money at it. Doesn't always work now does it. No different here. We're going to solve the plight of the .5% that have to wait all of a few months to earn millions because they aren't getting their fair cut....screw the 99.5% that benefit. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
