What makes you think this 'stance' by the players would force Jack out? There will always be players who are looking for an opportunity to be scouted or to play on the national team for possible career opportunities. So whether our BEST players represent TNT or not I see little impact on their stance on Jack's status or his decision to renege on his position.
Them eh snubbing Jack and TTFF but the fan; the people of TNT and the youths who looking up to them.
I eh with no one on this; because when you get right down to it, each side has self seeking interests.
AB Trini, could I ask you a very personal question?
in your work that you do in Alberta, are the over whelming majority of the workers treated fairly or are they Bullied by the company?
I am sure that your company treats everyone in your company fairly and I would be willing to bet, if I was a betting man, that if your compnay was treating their workers unfairly and it was the ONLY company of its kind in Alberta, that you would be at the head of the protest against your unfair company.
That is what is happening in regards to the players in TnT. They have been treated VERY unfairly and are just asking to be treated with respect.
We ALL know what is possible when the "powers that be" are given FULL power over their workers........
Here is what I am hoping for...
My intention in NOT to cause others to have a bad day as a result of my posts, but to have
HOPE ……
HOPE for change in the relationship between players and the TTFF.
HOPE that ALL players, local or Foreign, can feel comfortable that they can bring concerns and difference of opinions forward without threats of being BlackListed.
HOPE that there will one day be transparency within the TTFF.
HOPE that one day the TTFF and Players both work TOGETHER for the best possible outcome in our quest for any Tournament.
HOPE that we will have the best possible Team makeup for the Gold Cup.
HOPE that Player welfare, education, insurance, contract education, contract negotiation, attorney assistance, loans, career guidance, protection from exploitation, networking and general support will one day be a reality.
HOPE my friend HOPE. <-- click here
