So, Schmetzer only making $150,000-$200,000 because he hasn't had many "experiences" in this league? 2 MLSCups, Concacaf Champions League cup, 3rd fastest coach to 100 victories, (behind Bradley and Arena, who did it in the shootout era). Playoffs every year but one. My guess is that you are off by at least a factor of three when it come to his salary. And Schmetzer has been with Hanauer from the USL Sounders time, I am sure Hanauer has kept him well compensated. And I seriously doubt he is making less than what Tommy Thompson did in his best years. Edit: Front Office Sports says he makes $600,000 per year.
I'm not a kid. I'm an old white guy. Should I call you girl? Racism is a violation of the terms of service. Calling out racism when it exists is not. Likewise, calling out bias of a moderator who is a friend of a racist. That's all that I did. Not an infraction. Call in an unbiased supermod.
@Quakes05 If i offended you calling you a white guy... i apologize becsuse your litigation friend is micro mad.
We should try to keep this about our crappy little team. Don isn’t just any old Quakes fan, he’s a rock star around these parts. You add a lot to the conversation here too when you’re not trying to disrupt, troll, etc. It’s been a brutal season. It’s not surprising, the bickering and all… …you should let it go.
I had no issues until a drunk guy got offended and decided to go back months ago and suddenly speak up. He reverted to that when I called the Ultras out for being exactly what he clowns other teams fans for. Same bird different feather. No rule against disrupting, and i seldomly do anymore. Jazzy, Dr Bakshar and I post more then anyone. In actuality though, I could careless what people post online. Thats there own choice of free will. I now exit the discuss of this topic any further.
Good Argument Piece Supporters’ Shield or MLS Cup … Which is the bigger trophy?I respect and love the Shield — and the difficulty in winning it — but I’d argue Cup 10/10 times. That’s how you get the star on your crest. It’s how history judges champions. The parade maker. pic.twitter.com/uVWALJScAC— Andrew Wiebe (@andrew_wiebe) October 4, 2024
So Sasha actually argues that the Shield is the thing here, and I agree with him, but most people don't see it that way, and that's fine, I get it. But I think Andrew Wiebe's argument is circular - the MLS Cup is "the biggest trophy" because it's the biggest trophy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The counter Shield doesn’t put a ⭐️ on the jersey. Best team in league, sure. But not champions https://t.co/cLjPn3iACB— Michael Parkhurst (@MFparkhurst) October 4, 2024
You're behaving like a first grader, so yes, for purposes of this board, you're a kid. If any poster believes that another poster is violating the TOS, the appropriate action is to file a complaint. Not to compound the problem by jumping into the fray. If you don't trust me or Smurfquake to adjudicate, message a supermod. It may be time to close this thread. Meanwhile, do you all have work to do? If you don't, perhaps you could find a more productive hobby. Or volunteer at a soup kitchen.
This sounds fun. Might have to swing by. Also this weekend, starting today, three free days of music in Golden Gate Park…Hardly Strictly Bluegrass!
I knew it woud not have been a 4 year ban..... Paul Pogba news: Juventus star's drugs ban REDUCED to 18 months
You're behaving like a censor. You removed my original post on the subject and now you're insulting me and acting like a first grade teacher. And you want to close an entire thread? Why should I file a complaint to squelch racist speech, when I can simply call it out with more speech? That's the American way. You see the racist comments as they happen, just like the rest of us, and you do nothing to enforce the BigSoccer terms of service against your friend. I've been watching how you handle things. If I file a complaint, it will not be for another poster's speech, it will be for your censoriousness.
Don, if I may be so bold, I think you should drop it too. I think we’ve made our point about racism when it’s reared its ugly head (in here) a couple of times. I think this is a particularly tough time for Tyf and it’s true she has taken Kaitlyn under her wing so to speak. I say we let this one go and move on?
To me the SS is by far more important. It clearly states who's been the the best all season. I'm old school and I like it when obviously one team did better than the rest and played their brand of fútbol to end up with the best record. Unfortunately not every team plays each other in the MLS schedule so it's unbalanced. Never been a fan of playoffs, I feel it makes the season pretty worthless.
Quite possibly the most frustrating, over rated player I’ve ever watched play for Manchester United. And not a great team guy from what I could tell. Not sure I’d even want him here.
