Well again, it's a business, so he can't be honest.
EG signs PuMa, responds to criticism - Page 71

But that makes me dislike the team. Not the players. | ||

It shouldn't be about the teams, ie. their sponsors, it should be about the players. That is what is wrong with this thread, and the entire way the community is reacting to this. It's like no one has even read PuMa's (brief) response. He said you all are overreacting. You are. | ||

What's the point of watching a sport with no sportsmanship? Agian, no ill-will towards any EG players or puma. I just no longer respect their team. | ||

You are. because teams represent their players and represent themselves as businesses. i don't really care about puma's personal choices; they are his to make. i don't hold any ill will toward him because he didn't do anything in particular. eg, however, is a professional organization, and has acted like a child this entire time. | ||

He was with TSL for several months. It would have been decent of him to tell his coach/manager and fellow teammates about something that could significantly affect all of them. -He knew he didn't have contractual obligations to TSL, thus knew they couldn't stop him from joining EG. -He should have had enough opportunities to contact his team, via phone call or e-mail, while he was in the U.S. for weeks to participate in NASL. I'm assuming TSL does not practice coercion (persuasion using force or threats) and PuMa had only to fear facing controlled anger and general disappointment from coach Lee. | ||

Has any other team ever had to make so many public apologies? | ||

EG shouldn't have had to apologize for anything and to anyone saying Milkis deserves an apology, that is laughable. The guy pretty much destroyed the public image of EG's business in one biased post. (I'm not saying Milkis is biased, however the article he translated obviously was and had apparently very little actual fact on the situation.) Alex had a great point, Milkis is a journalist regardless of getting paid or not and as a journalist you can and will be held accountable for covering a story with such blatant disregard. However I think after the discussion with Alex on WoC he will indeed be more careful before posting in these situations from now on. Anyways as for the actual situation, EG is totally in the right. The player was not under contract and therefore had no obligations to TSL. I do believe EG was fully intending on contacting the coach of TSL after PuMa had brought it up, however I believe this was unnecessary. The fact that the player was under no contractual obligations to me means EG has the right to discuss the issue with the player directly regardless of cultural and/or ethical differences. | ||
