Fair enough. Like I said, maybe that's all some fans want - just to hear them say something. I do get that.

That may have made you and some supporters happy, but I just don't think it would have satisfied the majority. I think it would be a never ending back and forth of "we demand this, and we demand that". Just going by reactions on FT - its no win for them. At the beginning of last season, the consensus was "we just need to rebound and get back up ASAP" How long before that sentiment changed? Just to be clear, not excusing anything they've done or not done. I can just understand the potential reasoning for not making statements.

Honestly, what good what it do? Currently they are hammered for not saying anything. If they said something, they would get hammered for not saying enough. They would also be hammered for whatever they said. The cries for a “statement” are to appease fans who cannot be appeased. In other words - it’s a no win situation.

Thanks for the replies. Being such a common occurrence with the NFL it had me wondering if there was something stopping an owner. Which of course also had me wondering….. If there was, would a complete lack of fan support null and void any contractual agreement. I know the majority of NFL teams move due to a lack of fan support. There has been at least one instance where that wasn’t the case. The Browns owner basically was just offered a better deal to pack up the team and move them - which was extremely shitty considering the fact that fans were loyal despite the owner never fielding a team worth a damn.

Forgive me for not knowing - but what stops an owner from packing up the team and moving to a new city? Is there some kind of contractual obligation?

“I don’t like it, therefore it’s misinformation”

My mistake. I mistook you for someone with the ability to have a conversation. Is your daughter around? Maybe I can talk to her instead.

You and your daughter liked it. Why take shots at those that didn’t? Im sorry but I just don’t get the whole “I’m the authority and if people don’t come to the same conclusion as me, they are xxx!” attitude. People like what they like, and hate what they hate. A lot of people hated this movie, including the stars of the movie, critics and women. That doesn’t make you “stupid” or anything else for liking it.

California is a mess right now. Crime rate. Homelessness. Taxes. Businesses leaving. Did I mention crime rate?

Nothing wrong with that. Would be a boring world if we all had the same tastes

The whole thing was just……weird to me.

Still think you may have Ward rated to high.

Sting Dark comedy/horror about a giant spider. Not a bad watch. A little creepy at times, but nothing like Arachnophobia. 6/10

I ordered a kids top off the LCFC website. Delivered this week with no BC logo on it.

Surely he’s the exact same player he was when we had him 8 years ago. I’m sure he hasn’t lost anything. Plus he went to the Saudi League and honed his skills even more! We should bring him back even if it means we can only field one player every week (hopefully he doesn’t have injury issues). (adding laughing emojis so everyone knows I’m actually making fun of this stupid idea)

Maybe they just ask? Which flag would you like?

Dont know the law in your country - but I went through a bankruptcy almost 20 years ago There was an informal hearing where the debtors could step forward and object - none showed up so the judge granted it. No one showed up to take anything - not sure that's even legal EXCEPT if you write off a vehicle or house you're still paying for. They damn sure will come get that. But items like your fridge or TV - nope. Funniest part was, I started getting flooded with credit card and new car offers. Apparently they liked the fact that I owed no one at the time (other than my mortgage, which was not part of the bankruptcy). Like I said - not sure of the laws in your country, but I would suggest at the very least getting a free consultation from a bankruptcy attorney. That way you can weigh all your options.

Thats what bothered me the most They led people to believe they would be hired on permanent, even making some of them choose between permanent jobs they may have already had and working at Amazon.

The roofs they were actually set up on, were also sloped

Worked there last year as a seasonal employee. In order to become a full time employee, you must first work as a seasonal employee (not my intention. I just wanted to make some money and get out when my 90 days were up) First day, all the new hires are in a room being told how wonderful Amazon. We were all hired to work 4 nights a week, for ten hours a night. They told us during this meeting that we now had to work 6 days, 10 hours each. (no problem. I'm used to working in warehouses, so this was nothing new to me) A couple people raised their hands and asked "what about those of us with other jobs? We were told this would be our schedule" Amazon replied "Amazon expects you to work no where else. Amazon is your first priority and we will not make accommodations. But dont worry. Come to work, stay in good standing and you will have a great and wonderful future here at Amazon. The work was mind numbingly easy. Like a chimp could easily be trained to do it. My job was to take the product out of a tote and place it on a cart. That's it. Easy money. Two days in, I was told that I messed up. The lead couldn't explain how or what I did - only that it happened on two items I placed on the cart (just for perspective, I moved roughly 3500 items per shift from tote to cart. Apparently messing up twice was bad.) Then a week later, while I was talking with two ladies, the Manager came up and told us we should be wearing steel toe shoes (we knew that because Amazon bought them for us, however no one wore them, including the Manager - so neither did we) Just before our 90 days was up, they pulled us all (around 40 people still remained) into a room to inform us that our 90 days was almost up and that they wanted to thank us for our hard work, and to let us know they weren't keeping anyone. Not one single person. I didn't care. By that point I was only working like 1 to 2 days a week (I hated it, so I took advantage of their voluntary time off plan). But the people who were basically told to quit their other jobs were not happy. Some cried. Some raised their voices, which resulted in security coming and removing them from the building. As for the bathrooms - yes, you got in trouble for going because it was considered "down time" - time when you were not scanning anything. They stared at this stat religiously. They also screwed you over on breaks. We got two 20-minute breaks. That 20 minutes included walking half the distance of the warehouse to go sit down (there was no where to sit other than the breakrooms). You were to scan an item, go to break and be back to scan another item 20 minutes from the time you scanned your last item. One of my complaints was we were always told that we had to make our numbers. No problem, what are those numbers? They never told us. Ever. It was the biggest mystery in the warehouse. Something I thought was pretty shady, was that you would actually get written up, and not know about it. One of the ladies I talked to contacted me after we left. She asked HR why she didn't get to stay and was told she had "multiple write ups" (one was for the steel toe shoe incident). I've been in Management, and I have never heard of being able to discipline someone without them knowing, or having the opportunity to defend themselves.

I don’t even know what that is
