Kadenge Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 40 minutes ago, OhCanadaOhBaby said: It was definitely Kaye. He was the catalyst of the whole financial gripe against the CSA and was the one who brought the American law firm into it. I respect him for wearing the Maple Leaf and representing his country, but it would not surprise me if he has been one of Westhead's biggest sources over the years; however, not sure how he would be involved as much with this new story. Your first and last sentences don't add up. I get that some people don't like MAK for the red card in WCQ etc, but speculating in this situation is not helpful. jonovision and Bison44 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattd97 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 36 minutes ago, narduch said: The fact that Israel hasn't even been banned from these Olympics sort of brings to light that this is all a charade anyways. It's more about giving the appearance of fairness and equality than actually caring about it. People consider the IOC (and FIFA for that matter) to be 2 of the most corrupt organizations in the world for a reason. Wtf are you talking about, how are Israeli athletes cheating? How are their governments actions affecting sporting fairness? That's one of the more ridiculous things I've seen here and I haven't blocked Javier or andrew7 Califax and masster 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of the more ridiculous things I've seen here and I haven't blocked Javier or andrew7 The IOC actually has a rule that countries are supposed to not be doing war during the Olympics. And Israeli hasn't stopped their atrocities in Gaza at all during this time. And that isn't even getting into the fact that the IOC has banned Russia and Belarus for these same Olympic. So ya.

Colonel Green Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 1 hour ago, CanadaFan123 said: I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - there is absolutely nothing to be gained from the men’s POV in being affiliated to the women’s program. They are an absolute anchor. As if the women's team wasn't completely carrying national team soccer in this country until the last couple of years. jonovision and The Real Marc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were/are the better team, yes. What benefit does intermingling the teams have to the men though? It’s a give relationship with no take. I think the women would be better off for it as well. costarg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shameful. And I think that because of the NFL's (and the CFL to a lesser degree) shameful lack of actions when it comes to concoctions, they should do the right thing and disband their leagues completely. That has noting to do with me having little affection for either leagues, nope boss! And if the man truly believe that this was the only season the Pats did dicey stuff he is either a fool or lying to himself. I don't know much about American Football but I know that much.

The logic for banning Russia was that it invaded a sovereign country. Arguments can made that oppression or human rights violations or similar could be a reason to ban a nation but that is clearly different than one nation invading another.

That is deliberately incendiary language, not based on logic, just rhetoric, and posts doing that should be banned from the board. It also proves the argument that those saying they are talking about Israel and it has nothing to do with Jews are lying their asses off. Just argue the points, because if you want to provoke you'll provoke your way off the board. Or get the board closed down. I realize this is not the place to fully hash things out, but neither it is the place to just take cheap potshots that you know are malicious. Up to you.

To paraphrase Samuel Johnson, ad hominems are the last refuge of a scoundrel. Narduch and I are talking about Israel. It was another poster who mentioned people of the Jewish faith. It wasn't us. You want to conflate Jews with Zionists, that's your problem, not mine. Judaism is a religion. Zionism is an ideology. I have a problem with that ideology committing genocide. Apparently, you don't.
