+1 for the rule cite. If I could give another +1 for the Semi-Tough subreference, I would. Makes me wanna change mine to Phil Elliott...

ESPN let Kobe finish on its face
If this was true, they would have had a pro team in one of the major 4 leagues by now.
This seems like a really cruel thing to do to these young players, until you remember they have only a few years left to live.
Not really. The standard of play is getting better despite the expansion, since so much of the player pool is international. Plus, we’re starting to see the first wave of players who did all of their youth development in MLS academies (see: Matt Miazga, who entered the Red Bulls academy at 14). Combine those two…
He could have done exactly that, though - not sign and then re-enter the draft (or age out and become a UFA, but I’m pretty sure that’s not possible in his case)
He has a 2-way contract, which I believe specifies a different rate of pay when he’s in the minors. As far as the team doing anything”dirty”, I think you missed the part about him refusing to play. He deserves whatever he gets at this point.
Not good news for the staff of Electoral College Gameday.
I am not saying I’m not gonna work again.
Your spirited — but simplistic — argument becomes very complicated very quickly when you consider that there are a few hundred schools who play D-1 college and/or football.
Few of those schools pay their coaches anywhere near what Saban gets. So how much would you pay the kids on the teams whose coaches earn, say,…

He is a terrible head coach who once promoted Mike Tice to offensive coordinator. Stop race baiting.
I respectfully disgree - Lovie can’t coach for shit.
If you’re surprised by this story’s geography, you’ve never been to Minnesota in an election year. Dear god, every little town you drive through, you see hundreds of coded racist signs like “VOTE YES ON VOTER ID BILL [whatever]”. The only thing separating Minnesota from Arkansas are the weather, accents and tall…
The same fan threatened to blow up US Bank Stadium if the Vikings signed Robert Turbin.
Yeah, it’s the lawyer who’s the money-hungry scumbag in this scenario. Not the companies who wrote a bullshit loophole in the gambling laws and shoehorned that loophole as a rider into a homeland security bill that nobody wanted to vote against, and then exploited that loophole for millions of millions of dollars.
Maybe you noticed, the president is not running for president.
I read the first sentence and jumped straight to the replies. “Trying to cut back on its ad spending.”
To be fair, his lack of knowledge on tactics was barely noticable during his soccer broadcasts. We were too busy noticing his lack of knowledge of the player’s names, the basic rules of soccer, and his shouting at us when there was no reason to be shouting.
