Goal of the Weak Pay the players and keep them
safe. This league is very important. Not to me.
I'm a fan and i love this league, but seriously, it is important to the dedicated professional athletes who have committed their lives to it. Yes it's a young leauge and there
is plenty that needs to be done, but really only two things matter at this
point. The players must be paid and kept safe. I want to repeat this because the
commissioner has shown absolutely zero understanding of this. THE PLAYERS MUST BE PAID AND KEPT SAFE. The refs must be paid and
monitored. They must pull out the red
card. The facilities must be checked and
be safe. And the Players MUST be paid. Why does every league fail after 3
years? Because that's
how long people will wait to be paid. The commissioner has only one
job. Pay the players. Keep them safe. If she can't do that, she
shouldn't have the job. Fire Jeff Plush. After a
year and a half he is a complete failure. ·
The inexcusable farce
of paying professional adults less than half of a McDonalds
clerk. ·
The outrageous state
of the fields that professional athletes are expected to play on. ·
The constant stream of injuries caused by
those fields. ·
The constant stream of retirements of
healthy active players because they can't afford to pay to play. ·
The complete
incompetence of the amateur referees. ·
Giving teams a free
pass for complete failures of venue, medical facilities and corruption. ·
The incredible risk,
and consistent injuries, caused by poor refereeing. (No
one really minds bad refereeing if it is even
and safe -- but multiple players
are stretchered off weekly because
90% of the time the referees cannot or will not control the game.) ·
The ludicrous last
minute decision on the location of the 2015 Championship match. (Plush
& The NWSL become an international laughingstock.) ·
The laughably amateur
decision on the location of the 2016 Championship match. Jeff Plush must stop fooling around with moving the Championship match to help
out his friends and must PAY THE PLAYERS
and KEEP THEM SAFE. Raise money.
Pay the players. Keep them safe. The commissioner must be in Corporate board rooms every day promoting the league and
raising money. That is the job. If Plush can't or won't do
that. Fire him now. Eighteen months
is way too long. He certainly has not
done a single positive thing for the league that anyone can see. Pull the red card on Jeff Plush before he hurts more players. |
