Just coming to say Pulisic better be OK after CH-O was confirmed to have tested positive.
He’s not accepting the fall guy role, explicitly denying he knew of or approved the legal tactic. In his resignation letter, he takes responsibility for not reviewing the filing, but specifically disclaims responsibility for the content and claims he would not have approved it.
I read his statement and honestly I don't think it matters.
It looks like Seyfarth Shaw, USSoccer's law firm in this lawsuit, is also taking the fall for this in part as they've been fired/replaced since the filing earlier this week. It is no surprise a disaster like this will cause people to go into CYA mode and the finger-pointing will run rampant. It would be completely expected and normal to me that Cordiero did not review the brief before it was filed. There's really no reason for a CEO to be directly involved in things like micro litigation strategy decisions and reviewing draft briefs. At the same time, it is appropriate that his head rolls when his legal team ####s up this badly. Therefore, I suppose my point is that we can believe his statement 100%, while also thinking he should bear the blame. In fact, that's exactly what he said - that he didn't know the brief would take make this absurd and offensive argument, but also that he is at fault for not reviewing it before it was filed. I agree that, in the end, his statement probably doesn't matter to anyone, nor should it, and history will judge him harshly for this saga, as is probably fair.NewlyRetired said:
Look at the good side of this.... with no games and limited training, maybe our guys can finally get healthy again......
I haven't heard of the general counsel getting let go, though. And I would expect the GC to review any filing in a case like this.
Jesus, imagine this guy with Uly, Pulisic and Reyna all on the field together...They could call 21 year old Pulisic grandpa
Can we just roll him up in bubble wrap until this Wuhan virus thing is over? Legit had a heart palpitation watching that.
So next summer there will be a tiny amount of soccer available.
makes sense. We are finally at the point where I can see my avatar play together and we get a once in a life time pandemic.....El Floppo said:
same age, but no memory of this guy.This one is for the oldies in here.
Former USMNT (and an original Rev from 1996), John DeBrito passed away yesterday.
He came out of the dominant Div 2 Southern Connecticut State teams from the late 80's.
He was only 51
FIRE!
Ballsy. Don't know if it'll work for the other European leagues, especially harder hit nations. Plus CL play...
I think there's probably a little smoke there. After what Mexico did to Jonathan Gonzalez there has to be some concern. Add to that Efra being good friends with Uly and having been coached by Brian in the past and I wouldn't be shocked if he did switch.blend said:
I don't know about Indy Vassilev at the 8 , but Klieban has seen all those kids play and developed a good chunk of them. Perhaps a player like the FC Dallas kid that turned down Clemson football would have higher athleticism. I mean.. this was just his ideal XI, I wish he was the coach, but who knows how the Rapids coach feels about these guys.
The article gives the typical "many teams are interested in him" comment but no specifics. With him being 18 now, he can go any where I think as a pro.
Before the virus hit, I think this was a good solution. Even the small USL teams have their own academies now. We were pretty much at the point where we were as getting the most country wide net we have ever had for development.
