Not sure that will fix this one. Except for the WR , none of the players were higher than those that already existed in the league. The problem people had was with the # of players, that they came from a gutted team, and that it was towards the end of the season.

everybody who plays them will make it their superbowl? hmmm...the assassins play them to close out the season. perhaps we will choose that game to boost instead of for playoffs.

You won't need the boost to win. You already have a lot more high level players than Chattanooga does.

Just for added clarity, the "rule" that Chattanooga broke was bypassing the trading system to gain the ten players. They reaped the benefits of a gutted team and since there was no way to punish anyone else in the matter (the gutter no longer has a team, and the players didn't really have an "official" choice whether they were going to be traded or cut), Chattanooga was fined $1 million. Ideally that million went to the team they left, but I don't know one way or the other on that.

Billsman's posts were deleted, I presume, because they were nothing but flame-filled immature namecalling in response to not getting...whatever it is he wanted out of the situation, I don't really know. Not a big loss by any means, that's for sure.

Thanks for the "clarity". Unfortunately you're wrong. We all had the choice of being released or staying on our former team. Those of us who came to Chattanooga all chose to stick together, but there were others on our former team that chose to go their separate ways. In fact I chose to find another team for my other player.

and everyone that flames us is gonna accomplish what??? tell me??? all its gonna accomplish is that were gonna have another win and all the flamers are gonna cry to a computer screen which none of our team cares about.....oh, and its still gonna be one more win for us...so crying doesint do anything for u guys and a win does for us....so keep on crying people

our levels weren't even all that high when we came in, there are tons of teams in our league that had players with levels rivaling ours, hell we even took the time to level up without simply buying it. All I know is yall made a big deal out of this because a team that you were banking on beating got some new talent, so you decided to cry foul. and the only player we had that WAS miles ahead left because of all this garbage so can yall just drop this nonsense. the situation was handled by the admins, y keep talking about it. it's just annoying

We keep talking about it because you and your comrades continue to not understand why we disapproved of it from the beginning.

If, for one moment, you ignore winning and losing and look at this from the ethical perspective of an outsider, I am confident you will comprehend our issue. Whether or not you agree is one thing, but you've all made it abundantly clear that you don't even get the crux of the issue to begin with. For that reason, we'll keep going at it until you do.

I meant that if the owner decided to cut all of you rather than fairly trade you, you didn't have a choice; you couldn't have said "Wait, trade me there for cash instead!" and stopped the cut.

And for god's sake, how many morons are in this league? They moved via cut and sign instead of being traded; that's the ONLY ISSUE.

It had NOTHING to do with what time of the season it was and it had NOTHING to do with the quality of players. The fact that the same method COULD be used to move superior players into an overmatched league at the last second is what Bort et al are trying to fix, but for the last time this was NOT an unfair or illegal move; pray tell, which of the players is such an "overmatch" to anyone else in the league?

Can any of you point to ONE of them that's noticeably superior to the league's average?

OK, OK... understood. I misinterpreted what you wrote.

I think I am done responding with this issue.

I still don't think it's a big deal, especially if you all acknowledge that our mediocre quality of players isn't really going to make a huge difference.

I've read through the 20+ pages that this argument is spread over and this issue is officially dead. Penalties have been levied and arguments are starting to recycle themselves. This thread will be locked. If you want to discuss USA BBB#14 business please post here:
