So much to respond to...I'll just condense it into one. Let me just preface my comments by saying that I don't know Fuentes, nor do I know his motivations. From the little I know of him (thru this site) he seems genuine and committed to TnT football.
BakeS and Kicker let me ask allyuh this... If your employer makes a move or does something that you disagree with would you automatically quit?? Why is nobody asking for Lincoln Phillips to quit? Is he not working for the same organization? How about, instead of quitting because somebody have a gripe with your employer, working to change things from within?
I eh know Fuentes, and I doh presume to know how de man thinking what his reasons are fuh staying with or leaving de wuk. I just eh see de sense behind calling fuh he to leave.
I figure people with a sense of fairness and objectivity will wait for the matter to be settled in court or arbitration. As to spouting the company line, the company line has been that there is no blacklist. Fuentes just basically stated that there was one.
Fella...is not about "doing something yuh disagree with"...yuh think that's all at stake here? My sense of Fuentes is that he's a fair man and my sense is that he knows that what the players are asking is fair. I never had to lie fuh my job or otherwise compromise my principles. Not saying this is what he's doing...but on the surface that's the impression I get.
that said, if he's supportive of the players in his heart yet spouting this boiler plate nonsense...then I find that problematic.
why people actin like Fuentes doin something they never do before?
allyuh men need to grow up.
How many of allyuh ever do something cause u HAD to because of your job?
You breed with jackass or what?? "Grow up"?? To imply that to criticize is an act of immaturity is the height of stupidity. Yuh boss should tell yuh "go sell yuh ass on Nelson St."...leh we see if yuh principles ent kick in then.
First of all you never "have" to do anything that compromises your principles....and secondly, there are varying degrees of compromise- telling people that KFC curry chicken is tasty and detaching yourself from the players' cause are two vastly different degrees of compromise......but like I said/implied (and so did Bakes)...we're not even sure how Shaun really feels about the matter..............but IF it is that he's against what is going on, it's a pity that he has to play that role he is playing at the moment. Some may go one step further and say he should say to hell with that and fire de wuk.....that's a whole different conversation.
Precisely.
If Fuentes really believe what he type then more power to him. My sense from what I've gathered on this board is that he doesn't. To NOT believe it and still spout it...well, no need to be redundant.
Fuentes works for TTFF. He is just delivering the message. You not supposed to shoot the messenger. Well, maybe.
Tell that to Rosencrantz and Gildenstern.
Fuentes give up a cushion wuk like dat. The man seein the world on tief money
Indeed...it's a tough gig to give up, but at what point are your principles compromised? And at what price?
Maybe Fuentes just ent reach that point yet.
Guys, I think you all got to redirect your anger from Shaun Fuentes. Don't forget who's sending him out to face the press instead of doing it themselves. Fuentes didn't cause the impasse, and he's never openly supported the actions of TTFF. In most cases he tries to be as neutral as possible. Maybe he sticks around because he feels he can do more good being on the inside? Maybe he's sticking around in the hope that one day he'll work for a better TTFF? If he walks now, he'll never get the job back. Imagine if SPALK was TTFF media liaison.
Better the devil you know.
We should all focus on the people sending the message, not the guy delivering it.
Shaun Fuentes is a professional...when you find yourself in the midst of controversy and you're shoved to the front, then expect some of the heat to come your way. At no point did I say the man have to quit, however I would be hard pressed to be putting out half-truths under the company banner. Nobody is offering a sympathetic word for Oliver Camps. Camps is not the devil, just one of his minions doing his master's bidding. Camps have tuh eat too..how come nobody rushing to play advocate? What, just because Fuentes on this board and buddy-buddy with some ah allyuh he supposed to be immune to criticism???
*steups*
