  1. 😆 I think it's also worth mentioning, for those who are worried about Jerry's and Terry's feelings getting hurt, that the league answers to the owners, not vice versa. It's a trade association that exists to funnel revenue to the teams. And the owners are at the top. They control everything. They dictate league policy. If racial issues are being covered up, they're the ones signing off on that. Filing a suit against the league for how it handles discrimination and race issues is a big lift. How motivated do you think the owners, and by default the league, are going to be to get this thing resolved, if they aren't getting called out by name? If Jerry Jones isn't getting thumped in the media, this drags on quietly and forever. That doesn't give the plaintiff much leverage. Put them on blast? Now you have everyone's undivided attention. Will it work? Who knows. But they have no reason not to pull that lever as far as I can tell. Full send.
  2. "We don't like that the lawyers are being mean, which is what they always do, and it's also the plaintiff's fault" is quite the conclusion.
  3. Thanks guys. We'll see. The death of Twitter is unfortunate. I've migrated to BlueSky and set up a Sabres feed there, I'm bullish on that platform as it continues to grow its user base.
  4. You know, it would save everyone a lot of back and forth if they would bother to read the suit. Trotter is not making any accusations against Pegula. He is accusing the league of being full of ***** about its investigation of the alleged incident, and of terminating him for pressing them on it. It is provided as one example, of many, of the league machine existing to cover up, rather than actively pursue remediation of, racist behavior. Believe the stories in the suit or don't, it doesn't really matter. What is being asked is: did the league actually do any due diligence? If not, why? And was the plaintiff wrongfully terminated for trying to hold his employer accountable? If the Pegula allegations were properly investigated by the league, they should have no trouble providing their documentation of it as part of this suit, and Pegula can brush the whole thing off. Maybe his press release should have said something to that effect. Unless it couldn't.
  5. A little birdie told me there was some classic Wawrowposting going down and I can't stay away from that 😂
  6. If they win tonight they're making the playoffs. It feels like that kinda game for some reason.
  7. They're still scoring enough to be a middle of the pack team. They just need the defense/goaltending to solidify and start closing the goal differential gap. Barring the loss of someone like Thompson to injury they still have a chance to finish this season on respectable terms, which would be a pretty huge accomplishment.
  8. I'm sorry that listening to someone who can barely form a sentence is more your speed lol
