it'll not be the 1st incident and definitely it won't be the last , clubs are really controlling players while the last are the ones who bring money to all these organizations , if u don't want this guy just delete his contract and make him move to what ever club he wants to join but to force someone to go to club he doesn't want to go , the same incident happened from just few months ago when Clippers traded Griffin for pistons and he just knew about it from media also

Boycotting games because of an ongoing political event is just dumb (unless the organizers are responsible for the situation). Just look at what the Hungarian athletes did a couple of weeks after the

There are probably only 5% or less of Totallympics users that approve boycotting sporting events for political reasons. After all, we know better than the average person the stains left in the history

It's not that simple. You can't delete a contract in the NBA. Drummond has a player option at the end of the season and he can join whatever the team he wants, the Pistons could have lost him for nothing.

They did whatever they could to get rid of him. The Pistons would have got much more in return if they traded him a few weeks ago. Our dumbass owner and general manager are jokes.

Will depend on the basketball players’ Union being less stupid than the baseball one.

What did the baseball one do that was 'stupid'?

basically there's an endless fight between the greedy players' association (that wants at least 114 games + playoffs to be played in order to save at least 67% of their yearly salaries) and the super-greedy owners of the teams, who want no more than 82 (first proposal, rejected by the players asking for 114) and now no more than 50 games + playoffs season (counter-proposal to the players' 114), in order not to pay more than 30% of the yearly salary to each player...

 

so, instead of meeting in the middle of their initial request (as normally happens in any "supposed to be even" dispute), the more the owners ask for shortening the season (and pay less to the players), the more the players want to add games to the season, so to save the most possible of their yearly income...

 

all of this means that no agreement has been reached between the 2 counterparts and the chances of having any kind of 2020 MLB season get slimmer day after day...:facepalm: :wall:

Yeah, it's funny. NBA players have jumped on the 'load management' stuff since few years and want to play as few games as possible while baseball players want to play more. Of course baseball is full of 30+ vets who don't really show much pure physical shape anymore, hell, Albert Pujols is still playing despite being years removed from his prime :p He reached the RBI milestone last season so he could just about fuck off already.

      2026 Winter Olympics - Very Early Predictions

      By copravolley · Posted

      There are currently no grounds to consider Ghiotto as a favourite for the 5000. He has never won any important 5000 event while dominating the 10 km at the same time. Roest always won the same pattern, with Ghiotto losing all his advantage in the last 2 laps. We will see what the Italian's form will be like now and how tactically he wants to play it. I would also not forget about Eiter from Norway, who is much younger from these two and has a lot of room for development.

      Curling WCF European Championship 2024

      Maybe small but this is our worst performance at the European Championships since the post-Covid period and that's a fact. Germany and Norway surprised with their form here. However, only in Italy are things like this possible, such as changing the head coach of the team with less than two years to go before the home games...

      Men's Tennis ITF Davis Cup 2024

      By copravolley · Posted

      In my opinion we can lose to Argentina, if it's 0-1 in a moment. This Davis Cup format is a lottery, especially with the shortened doubles. It's no coincidence that all the favorites can/will can be eliminated in the quarter-finals. The second thing is that Argentina has a very solid team: 2 players in the top 30 + a strong doubles. If you sure to will win with them, you would have to have 2 Sinners in great shape.

      Godun has been training in Italy and Hungary for over 2 years. It's strange that she didn't take a Hungarian passport. Our predecures are so long that it probably wouldn't make sense.

      Curling WCF European Championship 2024

      By copravolley · Posted

      Our worst European Men's Championship in this cycle: no promotion to the 1/2. Retronaz has been in poor form since the beginning of the season. The change of the head coach in the Italian team last spring may have had an impact. Unfortunately, the closer to the games, the worse it gets for us and it should be better because we are the organizers.

      2026 Winter Olympics - Very Early Predictions

      Agree with you on this. The only missed category was Long Track Speed Skating where Cornelius Kersten and Ellia Smeding have done a good job getting us involved in this event again after many years absence. He won a Bronze medal at 2023 worlds but both are realistically fringe contenders and main goal is to grow the sport here.   As for our general chances by British standards we tend to do well at the various world championships before a Winter Olympics to raise hopes and then several dont quite deliver when its time. Would prefer the reverse to happen where we save our best for 2026 and help boost our Winter sports growth.
