It's my understanding that the coffin-protest was a Bearfight Brigade thing, not condoned by SoB, whereas the big (Bruce) banner was SoB's portion of the protest.
If that's the case then he's really going after the wrong crew, as I'm sure the Brigade will bite back even harder next time. The fact remains, however, that regardless of who was carrying the coffin, the sentiment it was to convey is held by a far greater population.
Sak gonna Sak. At this point I'm all for it -unfortunately I think the team is going to have get a lot worse before anything changes for the better. Sak is the Angel of Death we need.
Kerith going off on Twitter. Makes good points and rightfully attacks Sak. Some revenge for him for getting fired by the team. Kerith Gabriel @sprtswtr 2m2 minutes ago Okay, rant over. Just sick of listening to the same old BS from someone that just doesn't get the city, fans, or the very team he manages.
...and don't forget this... Nick Sakiewicz puts speculation to rest confirming that Jim Curtain & @ChrisAlbright03 signed Rais M’Bolh for @PhilaUnion.— Alexi Lalas (@AlexiLalas) June 29, 2015 So, how do Curtin & Albright respond to being thrown under the bus? Wow.
Oh Alexi. Is it comedy or your attempt at sports reporting? I can't tell? By the way, its "Curtin." Alexi Lalas @AlexiLalas 8m8 minutes ago Nick Sakiewicz puts speculation to rest confirming that Jim Curtain & @ChrisAlbright03 signed Rais M’Bolh for @PhilaUnion.
It'd be too much to ask for their spontaneous resignations I suppose. Just so wanna see that fraud running the team at PPL just one time..............
Dave Zeitlin @DaveZeitlin 4m4 minutes ago Jim Curtin's first day as interim coach: *barges into Sakiewicz's office* "Happy to be here boss but I'm gonna need a new goalie ASAP ... " Dave Zeitlin @DaveZeitlin 2m2 minutes ago "I know you don't like to spend but make sure he costs A LOT. And lock him up to a long-term deal. Don't worry about team chemistry ... " Dave Zeitlin @DaveZeitlin 1m1 minute ago "I'll then start him a few games and see if I like him. If not, I'll send him back to Europe. But you'll still pay for him. Sound good?" Dave Zeitlin @DaveZeitlin 1m1 minute ago End scene.
People may not like Curtin as a coach, but he is a pure class guy as is Albright. No chance they respond in any way but to work even harder.
It's hilariously wonderful how out of touch Nick Sak is. He is only making things worse. Perhaps some of the supporters groups will work up the spine to continue to protest. Until then, I am going to sit back and enjoy watching this train-wreck.
I want to get mad at the stupid stuff that Sak says, but honestly I have outrage fatigue. At this point the only thing separating Nick from Dan Snyder is the fact the team isn't called the "Philadelphia Savages" or something of the like.
Here's a transcript of the full interview courtesy of PSP: http://www.phillysoccerpage.net/201...-nick-sakiewiczs-interview-on-soccer-morning/ Everytime he opens his mouth he immediately puts BOTH of his feet in it. Amazingly he also manages to also put the feet of everyone else in the room in his mouth as well! I love how he has built and fosters a culture of accountability.........
I don't know much about running a business , but investing a lot of money on something that doesn't meet production demands and ultimately losing money, is not a good business deal.
