And this is where that skewed and one-sided point of view comes in, and someone pipes up and thinks it's someone else's fault, and the first thing they like to point at is the GM's of the NSFL team that the prospect is on, not knowing even 5% of what was going on, and all he heard was 'Tom fucked Los Angeles over and didn't want to play for Jerry, this is despicable of him'.
What you don't know about the situation is how I discussed with both Jerry AND Richard about Tom beforehand, let them know of this situation, and asked for their opinion about it, whether they wanted to keep him or fine with having us call him up. Personally, I was on the fence with this whole situation. I didn't like the fact that Tom wanted to get called up and ultimately fuck over Jerry, but at the same time, we want him to have the best experience in this league, and he's been having a pretty decent time in our locker room.
And then, not some twenty minutes later after receiving responses from BOTH GM's, Tom updates his player past the 350 TPE threshold, and basically forces my hand into a certain circumstance.
It was either release Tom, pay the penalty for releasing an active player for no good reason, and carry on with life, having our already small batch of prospects get even smaller and pretty much causing some kind of rift in one way, which would lead to this thunderdome turning into a thread about how stupid and how much of a rookie mistake it was for releasing an active for no reason, further tarnishing the reputation in Las Vegas, which I've been trying to rebuild since I got here.
OR, I could just release an inactive we weren't using in the first place, satisfy one of our prospects by calling him up, and let HIM deal with the situation he made himself. I think my decision was easy and most likely the right decision.
Again, your assumptions come from a couple of posts I made to make this whole thing happen, so I understand where you're coming from, but you're tooting your horn at the completely wrong place here. So, if you could kindly take your bullshit attitude, your bullshit Los Angeles Locker Room bias, as well as your conceit in believing that it was OUR fault doing this, and take that elsewhere, say the Los Angeles Locker Room to vent and everything, that would be greatly appreciated.
Well, that, or sticking your head out of your ass for a change. That'd be great, too.
If you'd like to retract your statement, I will accept that, as well.
