Well they definitely know how to stir up shite and piss people off. They’ve perfected that.
And by people I mean the women

Dudes weren’t happy before the big show either…. Money mismanagement on a colossal scale

How many people up in arms about all of this have taken a moment to sit back and think through what the posted numbers mean?

Sorry but so sick of uneducated idiots piling on because they have stars in their eyes.

Plus, this.

You could say that about ANY National Sports Org, no? Or any political party, yeah?

He’s so good.

CSA is good at spending money, just not on the players

It's an all out Twitter blitz by the women the last 24 hours. I don't think they really know what they are doing here.

But anyways, funniest thing I saw was a tweet from Quinn being sarcastic about the CSA hiring another man for a c-level position in the organization yesterday... someone replied simply "but you want to be one"

Odds are better of getting a job though are they not? Just maximizing chances.
Smart thinking!

I don't profess to have any knowledge of the details of the dispute, but I can tell you this:

a) demanding that a valid (though idiotic) contract the CSA signed be torn up and

b) demanding that the federal government step in and fire the CSA board if it doesn't do exactly what the women demand

c) initiating a de facto wildcat strike

are all stunts that would motivate me to take an extremely hard line with them, were I involved with the CSA.

I shed no tears for the stuffed suits at the CSA, but fcuk me the players are either getting no advice or awful advice in terms of how to approach these things...

The only sensible action is to show how impoverished they are by baring all and playing soccer. Might also help the viewership and subsequent sponsorship and associated pay. I'd like to lay claim to this, but I think Bladder already alluded to this some time ago. I'd attach a relevant video to prove my point, but this is not the NSFW thread

my guess is likely getting their advice from women, never a good idea.
