Tim has a daughter.
Well, I'm not bankrupt.
Tim has a daughter.
WTF?Now Tim's a horrible father for not dressing well?
but you don't appear on my TV selling my kids tennis shoes that cost $200!Well, I'm not bankrupt.
But he is the ultimate authority on all matters, doesn't he?
Just because the players and their reps were blindsided, it doesn't mean that you suck up to the weak owners who can't control their organizations.
Where did you get they were blindsided? It was part of the negotiations this summer. If they didn't want it, they didn't have to agree to it.Just because the players and their reps were blindsided
I don't pay that much attention, either way same point...
Initially, they will/should get fined.
But if a player starts to acquire more and more fines for not dressing right.......I fully expect to see some 3 to 5 game suspensions for failure to comply with the dress code.
And I believe I also read something about the teams being penalized aswell. Not sure how they'd go about that, but I expect Stern and the League will have stiff penalties to discourage everyone.
The reaction from some players sounded that way.
You are setting the bar for stupidity in argument.
Everything else that Tim Duncan is doesn't matter because he's not dressing the way you want him to.
(I'll ignore that you got the gender wrong, I guess that's consistent with the rest of the post.)
I didn't think it was a great point when I made it, but what interests me the most is that if every Spur already wore suits to games, then everyone here would be for the dress code, but because Tim dresses like he's got no place special to be everyone here is against it....
Yea...Way to go Duncan...He probably has autographed posters of Stephen Jackson & Ron Artest Pummeling fans hanging in his living room...
Apparently according to some of the posters, you are a bad person, perhaps even a gangsta and certainly unprofessional. On the other hand, the people you work for don't seem to mind (like most of corporate America). Is it really the case that posters here feel the right to impose their values on you, feeling that the dress code that they would assign you is more morally binding than the one that your company does? If like most people working in corporate America you have business casual dress right now in your current office, what would we anticipate happening to that dress code if the office were moved to a gymnasium? Wouldn't any reasonable dress code conform to the nature of the "office"? Does the fact that they work in a gymnasium have no relevance upon the clothes they wear? Or should everybody at Sea World in July in San Antonio also a uniform with a sports coat? What about Schlitterbahn? If corporations allow business casual in the office, why is it more appropriate to have a formal dress code for those who work in a gymnasium? Next thing you know, we'll start asking construction workers to wear a suit and a tie in 105 degree heat!
Tim was right and all those posters who are attacking Tim are not using common sense.
Tim and Manu seem to simply be saying that they went too far with the dress code, making it too stringent (as well as artificial). If they had made the dress code more reasonable, I doubt that either of them would have objected. Everyone already knows that Tim and Manu are class people and people already know which players aren't.
I find it funny that Bowen can beat the out of Iverson on the floor and then 10 minutes later he's all suited up ready to answer all the reporters questions.
It always cracks me up that the most hated Spurs defender can look like a WallStreet stock broker within a few minutes.It must be the hair.
Um, wrong.
Some of us are against it because it's just plain wrongheaded, and the motivation behind it is waaaaay su ious, to say the least.
Baseball players dress like . I wonder when Corporate America will start going after them? Um, like never.
YEAH Duncan!!! As I said before, it's about COMFORT. Beleive it or not, wearing jackets and dress shoes and crap make some people unfomfortable. What's next??? the WNBA is gonna make them wear high heels???
I'm w/Duncan on this one.
Yes. That's how Stern sounded in his press brief (or interview).
No exact figures yet.
Pretty soon I'm going to have to start a Dress Code forum.
Will a dress code be required to view it, because I ain't putting up with that ....
Yeah, you'll have to be donning a throwback and at least 5 carats of ice.Will a dress code be required to view it, because I ain't putting up with that ....
I'm a firm believer of "no shirt,no shoes,no business"
unless you're a lifeguard or table dancer.
I HATE TIM - He doesn't want to dress suit.
Ps. It will be interesting to see how AI will dres the suit how he will wear a tie and in what colors.
The rookies won't get the caps they will get the tie's
Ps2. Killing the indywiduality. Professionalism has nothing to do with the dress (not gangsa btw).
And what money does have in common with the wearing the suit?
It's a damn soprt not a buisiness for many people. I do not think that the young like to see the suit on the players- come on the plyers are not old company men
Its a stupid rule, if people wanna dress how they wanna dress why not let them, so what if a person dresses like a "thug" maybe thats his own personal style. What you may consider a thug might be his personal style. I know if i was in the Nba id be rocking the same clothes i wear now with a Jesus piece iced out hanging to my nuts...that doesnt mean im a thug it just means i could dress the way i wanted
that Jesus piece iced out hanging to your nuts piece was hilarious!
yet stupid.
This was done badly. The release of false information has gotten everyone riled up.
I am not just blaming the media for this. Stern is guilty as well for doing little to squelch the rumors.
The league could have done a lot to clean up it's image simply by restricting things like do rags, throw back jerseys, and multiple chains and having players wear dress shirts instead of t-shirts while on the bench and making scheduled public apperances.
The sports' coat rule ( among others) is just over kill and negates what could have been good about a dress code.
Sadly, it seems there is no chance for compromise now because no one, on either side, wants to appear weak by negotiating.
