    I didn't understand that either. If you want to maintain a good relationship/reputation among current, as well as prospective players/staff, you simply don't treat employees like that.

    That, I understand perfectly, but why would anyone want to be? That's what I don't understand.

    Compensation for some real or imagined slight. Trump's old man was an asshole of biblical proportions who drove one of his sons into substance abuse, the other decided to model the asshole behavior. Snyder grew up lower middle class, always "dreamed" of owning the 'Skins, succeeded, and never can have enough to "protect" his dream. In other words, dickwads are made, not born.

    Besides dickwads don't believe they are dickwads and if they are acting dickwadingly (yeah I invented an adverb) the person its aimed at deserves it.

    'Dickwadingly' - would be pronounced Dick-Waedingly

    I believe the correct spelling is 'Dickwaddingly' with a double D

    you know how much a cancer claim experience affects premiums?!?!? I suspect those EPL teams have their own private insurance as primary instead of the NHS.

    Dick Waddingly sounds like a character in a Dickens novel.

    So what. ******** them. If they don't want to be in NHS, they can purchase stop loss insurance to cover the statistically minimal chance one of their athletes develops cancer. Dickwaddery does not get a pass due to dollars and cents. Dickwaddery is all about dollars and cents.

    And that isn't all: The very title of "Hard Times" explains itself, and "Oliver Twist" obviously had a particular sexual movement the ladies found irresistible.

    In the meantime in Italy during this quarantine, the website that increased greatly its traffic has been Pornhub! Also if I suspect Italy won't be the only country in this statistic...

    And why did you leave your house?

    You could be the person who infects the person who infects Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

    Most courses in Virginia, outside the county owned ones in Fairfax/Loudoun/PWC, are open for business. With very stringent physical distancing policies.

    Because Governor Northam says golfing is an allowed activity in Virginia, and golf is a very easy activity to do while remaining physically distant from your playing partners.

    I leave my house a few times a week. To play golf or go on walks or to get takeout. I'm not spending this time cowering in fear indoors 24/7.

    Your characterization of what others are doing seems to be a bit loaded. People need to to do what is best for their unique situation and the guidelines of where they live. Every situation is different. Your's works for you until it effects others negatively.

    Science is real.

    Cheers,

    Well, duh, science is real. My college degree is in science.

    But there's so much bad science out there about the virus that I hear people all the time questioning why other people go outside for any reason at all. That people should be staying home 100% of the time, full stop, because some badly sourced article on medium.com freaks them out even more than they already are.

    My characterization of other people is not a bit loaded. It reflects reality.
