All good dude - I will stop now. Let’s enjoy the football.

Why is it stupid to say this in public? Other than you saying it’s stupid?

And you know what? That’s ok that Yaya wants to behave like that - it’s hardly villain behavior and maybe it makes him relevant enough to get a good deal where he goes to next- but I also like Guardiola’s response.

Seems to me like you’ve changed your tune from “Yaya shouldn’t be held accountable for his agent’s actions” in your first post, then when people have pointed out that his agent would be doing so with his approval, you’ve changed to “Pep shouldn’t fight this in public”. Just admit you don’t like Pep, lol.

Lol no - in this context the agent is very much acting on the wishes, or at the very least, with the approval of Yaya.

Next transfer window is Jan isn’t it? I don’t think waiting till then will effect his next salary.

Thanks to you and the OP. You both articulated what I think about this subject but had so far failed to put into words. Glad I scrolled down and read your comments because I was about to chime in and make a fool of myself.

That’s fine, your post was obviously in reply to people who knew the principles behind your comment (sorry I was having a day of butting into conversations involving concepts off my radar).

Sorry to hear that and I can see how it’s an important part of shaping your parenting.

Yeah, the legal logistics sound like a possible minefield when given superficial thought, but I wonder if invested parties would put thought into it, would there be solutions?

I love you.

Haha, thanks for making feel better about going off on tangents (I’m teasing!). Good luck with the business.

I get that - Raising my kids I did notice the parents who researched extensively (my ex, the mother of my children is like me, while her sister researched everything). I researched and caught up on basic facts about things like feeding and teething etc.

Wow, I had not heard the phrase “virtue signalling” until that guy brought it up.

PS - when I think about it, maybe he’s right. Maybe to insulated millionaires who chase a ball for a living, Kaepernick’s protest is controversial and challenging. Having an arm linking session can really make sure they don’t feel alone in their confused feelings.

See this is why sports people usually shouldn’t say shit about anything.

The point of this article is this:

What do you expect from a bunch of jocks who make a living following orders by crashing into each other?

Right, I see what you mean about “conversations about consent” now - I actually think we do most things similar and with virtually the same end goals and results. I’m a bit “lazier” than you in how I handle the example situations you put up.
