I'm back on the grid. Holy shit where do I begin.
First, I like every member of the head office. Obviously you're a great group of guys and I have nothing against any of you. I have supported you guys through ever decision that has been made even when I didn't agree. Now...
This ruling is pathetic. Cap violations should be punished, I completely agree. In season one two playoff teams played over the cap. One of them the same 2 million that I believe the Legion were over this season (that team lost the Ultimus game). Those teams received 0 punishment. I do not believe the team that should be made an example out of is the worst team in the league, going into the largest free agency we'll ever have. This is not good for ANYBODY in this league.
I do not think the head office's responsiveness to issues should be based on how many media articles people right about it. You're all capable individuals that should be able to work together to make consistent and fair decisions for the good of the league.
In terms of the player exchange bet. It was a bet that I do not believe ever should have been allowed. However, I would be shocked if any of you were not away of it WEEKS ago. The fact that a ruling has been made voiding the bet AFTER it was won by a side is ridiculous. Talk about kicking a dog while it's down. Even voiding the bet after a single Legion win would have been a response I could support but this is ridiculous. The Legion have been celebrating acquiring Cushing, it has been the talk of the league, taking that away at this point is going to crush that team.
Obviously, Cushing is probably going to be the most impacted by this. I don't know what he wants or where he wants to play. But to be honest, that shouldn't have ANY bearing on any of this. I like Cushing, but he made the bet and he know the risks of it when he made it.
