Third-world "sport"

[Clipper Nation]

Parma hasn't been in great financial shape for at least a decade—they entered into administration in 2003 and only clawed out in 2007—but their financial problems have been especially acute recently. They finished sixth last season and should've received a place in the Europa League, but were ruled ineligible because of overdue tax debt. In December they were docked a point for failing to pay wages on time, and in February tax authorities seized three of the club's vehicles to cover debt shortfalls. A game against Udinese was canceled because Parma was unable to pay stewards, and youth coach Hernan Crespo (who starred for the club in the late 1990s) has said they couldn't even afford water bottles. Needless to say, the players haven't been paid all season.

Parma is the latest once proud European club to face massive financial difficulties, joining a list that includes Rangers, Valencia, Portsmouth, Leeds, and others.

Third-world kickball slurpers need to this , tbh. First rigging scandals, now bankruptcies

weren't there NBA teams that were losing money not so long ago?

[PingPong]

The whole italian league, the Calcio Serie A has been downhill for a while. The England's premier league and the German Bundesliga are the . Spain has only two rich teams, Barcelona and Athletico de Madrid, the rest is . France has only the Paris-Saint Germain. There's a lot of Money laundering, mainly in the England's premier league. In the football, the club need to buy the player and pay his salaries. Unlike the NBA, there aren't max salaries, cap etecetera. So that's why the clubs went bankrupcy.

Real Madrid not Atletico, my bad.

dont forget some clubs pay players taxes for them...

problem with those other leagues not doing well is the allocation of tv rights revenue...

On paper only, through creative accounting. Meanwhile, kickball teams can't even afford water bottles for their players

What a ty excuse for a "sport," and people think this crap is better than baseball?

Getting hurt by sneezing

Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Pillar sneezed a mighty sneeze on Sunday. He sneezed with such force that he actually strained one of his obliques before the Blue Jays’ annual exhibition game against Canada’s national junior team, and he’s going to be out for a week, according to The Toronto Star.If this sounds like a ridiculous injury, it’s because it is, but it’s definitely not as bad as it could have been.You might recall back in 2004 when Sammy Sosa sneezed such a wildly powerful sneeze that he gave himself back spasms and a sprained ligament that kept him out of action for a whole month.Sneezes can be dangerous things. God bless you, Kevin Pillar.

why provide water bottles when you can roll out a soaker hose, hang it above the players, and let them suck on it for a while?

Problem is, most of those gots would try to deep-throat the hose
