Sellist jama asemel võiks lugeda seda: http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/...lundered-again
Tsiteerin üht konkreetset lõiku: "As a side note: When, exactly, did fans start to believe that their best interests and the best interests of team owners were the same? When did, "Well, I don't think [INSERT NAME OF REALLY RICH GUY] should spend his money in a way that would provide maximum entertainment value for me, the paying fan" become the go-to response?
We have no idea how much money Jim Dolan stands to lose and how that affects the Knicks' future. And Knicks fans shouldn't care. They should just want the most entertaining, best product on the court. A team with Jeremy Lin is a better product for consumers than a team without Jeremy Lin. That should be 99 percent of every fan's calculation.
Furthermore, the statement "Jeremy Lin isn't worth $14.8 million as a basketball player" is shortsighted. It assumes that marketing dollars don't exist and that every athlete is paid entirely based on his ability to go left or defend the pick-and-roll. No contract in the history of the NBA has been signed within such a vacuum.
So why has "Jeremy Lin isn't worth $14.8 million as a basketball player" suddenly become the "smart and rational" response? Those statements assume a world that does not exist. They are the opposite of rational."
Vaheta Lini nimi RVP omaga. Point jääb samaks.
Lisaks tundub, et on aeg selle teema arhiivi puistada, kus ma julgesin öelda, et kõige ägedam klubi üldse, sest alati Top 4 ehk fännidele põnev, kuid iialgi ei hoia oma parimaid kinni, mistõttu ei võida ka sittagi - kui just tähed ja päike tõesti ideaalselt ei joondu, mida võib ka alati juhtuda. Toona sain sõimata, kuid eks me tea, mis edasi on saanud (Fabr, RVP jms seltskond).
Ehk klubi omanikud on Wengeriga kindlasti rahul, raha jookseb ja peatreener ei mölise. Fännid on aint sellised nõmedad, kuid õnneks unustavad asjad kiiresti ära. Nagu oleks ära unustanud ka RVP kõik solvangud, kui ta oleks klubisse jäänud, sest Arsenal RVPiga on kindlasti ägedam kui ilma (vt esimest lõiku).
Kui aega üle on, siis see on ka hea tükk: http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/...veryone-sports (sama autor)
