    AMEN!!!

    This was what I meant when I said some people wanted him fired. The bolded part above could be construed as threatening the man's employment. I imagine if Schlossman had the same opinion as most of the people on here that are complaining about him, those same people would be canonizing him.

    Again, I agreed with the decisions made this week. But nobody "needs" to "give it a rest". When you make controversial and/or unpopular decisions like this, you will have a backlash. That is why they hired a Title IX consultant. Kennedy and Faison probably understand and accept that. But very few people on this forum seem to understand it. I do think Schlossman should be a little more careful about his choice of words (calling someone a moron isn't a good idea). But again, he is not obligated to agree with anything. Wayne Nelson whined and complained for weeks about baseball being cut last year, but he didn't get nearly as much grief as Schlossman is getting right now.

    Sounds like people want Schlossman fired and anyone who disagrees with the decision silenced. Sorry, this isn't Iran or North Korea, it doesn't work that way here. I agreed with the cuts and recognize they are necessary. But to expect the people negatively impacted to be happy about it and to keep their mouths shut about it is pure wishful thinking. There is no law that says anyone has to like it.

    Nope, that only applies to our team.
  6. fightingsioux4life
    It was a sarcastic comment. He was trying to make the same point you just did, just in a different way.
  7. fightingsioux4life
    I think he meant 1987.

    I won't begrudge a kid for signing a professional contract. I hope it goes well for him and that he doesn't get stuck in the AHL for a year or two. But there are others who also think that the leadership on this team was not as strong as it was last year.

    To be fair, nobody even knew about what Hastert was doing with young boys until after he left the House. But you are right, it has nothing to do with this topic.

    We have lost players early before and the program survived. We will survive this.
  11. fightingsioux4life
    Okay, I have not been following the early departures religiously.

    Me thinks that the Avalanche could virtually promise him a spot in the starting lineup next season based on how big of a train wreck that team is right now. I don't think Jost planned on being here one season; it just worked out that way.
  13. fightingsioux4life
    Honestly, I don't care about the Frozen Four this year. It just makes me nostalgic about last year.

    What would make this even worse is if BU's precious "diaper dandies" form a pact to return for another shot at the NCAA title before they leave for the NHL.

    I think https://twitter.com/gfherald is the Grand Forks Herald account. Perhaps Herald reporters don't have their own work accounts.
  16. fightingsioux4life
    Because he dares take a position that is different from a majority of the posters on his forum. That's a crime, you know.
  17. fightingsioux4life
    He does.
  18. fightingsioux4life
    Agreed. It is funny that when Schlossman keeps his mouth shut about issues like this, people on here love him. But as soon as he starts taking positions that are unpopular to a majority of posters on this forum, people suddenly don't like him anymore. If he wants to express his opinions and feelings on his personal Twitter account, he has the right to do that. We don't own him and neither does anyone else.

    The time to cut FB would have been at the start of our Division I transition period. That is how Omaha did it. But now that we have a practice facility built big enough for FB and have invested real money into it, it is too late to cut FB.
  20. fightingsioux4life
    Well, considering the news broke way before the meeting was scheduled, I don't blame them for being p!ssed.
  21. fightingsioux4life
    That will probably have to wait until the press conference at 3:30pm.
  22. fightingsioux4life
    Personally, I think the players on a team getting cut have the right to say whatever they damn well please. Is there a rule that says they have to like the decision? What is Faison going to do, suspend them for a few games?
  23. fightingsioux4life
    I agree with you. But this should have been done last fall and not kicked down the road.
  24. fightingsioux4life
    Apples and oranges. The USWNT has a fraction of the resources the Red Army teams did. The USSR spared literally no expense to prove that Communism was the superior system (which it wasn't).

    I don't think the salaries in this agreement can be compared to the millions of dollars that professional men's basketball and hockey players get. Get the NHL and NBA players out of international competition and offer amateur men's athletes a similar deal to what the women's hockey players got. That would level the playing field and allow our amateur athletes who have full-time jobs to be able to afford to compete in international tournaments. Bottom line: I want the best athletes the United States has to compete on the international stage in every sport. Winning is good for national pride and for the development of sports at the youth level (the 1980 Miracle on Ice did that for hockey in a big way).
