Does this mean Tom Ehman got the flick??? One could only hope...
Nothing new here. Tim has been on their payroll for years..
TE probably did the hiring. Hiring TJ maybe means BOR is going to ramp up the media with the coming legal issues. The guy has tons of access to the sailing media & beyond. It's a good hire for the BOR, the AC & the sport.
Dear Tim,
I present you my condoleances. You jsut killed your journalist carreer for 6 months of court. Wrong call. Too bad.
good luck jane
11:57 AM - I really find it interesting how much slagging of the BOR employees comes from the Alinghi side. It's one thing to have a go at a teams afterguard who make the decisions but it should be another to go after those that are 9-5er's.
Also going after a female really stresses why it is important to enforce the law & rules of the Deed in NYSC. It seems there is a total lack of respect from the Defender's side & their supporters. They just don't get it when it comes to law, rules, history and tradition.
I would ask Pierre to not post posts that attack females & family members as it has no place in sailing or life even with the depth of disagreement that is going on between the 2 groups.
If you want to have an idea about slagging and bashing have a look on SAnarchy it is quite telling...
It'is also a good insight of how fair and unbiased the Borites are.. Those poor defenders of the AC values who were forced to eliminate the other teams to prove the world how big is their ideal !!!
Good luck in the next round of the appeal in the court because wou will need it !!!
10:04 PM - you are such a moron as this is VS not SA!!! The mob at SA are self regulating & word out is that there are more Alinghi sock puppets than BOR so what do you know???
As for "eliminate the other teams" what don't you understand about law & rules. Just because you support cheaters doesn't mean the rest of the world will put up with it.
If you had any concept of sportsmanship we wouldn't need rules would we??? It's not too much to ask is it as it's called the Basic Principle is it not???
Move on until you have a grasp of what's going on......geeish!!!
The women who work for BOR as fair game, the same as the guys. They make the same choices, want to be on the team. Just because they are women makes no difference.
As for families, it could be hard having mud slung at you when you are indirectly part of the team, but the BOR wives are happy to be part of it all, support BORs choices, and consider themselves superior in every way while spending their husbands grossly inflated salaries. They are happy to take the flak becuase they are just as nasty.
I guess you are just very disappointed that you are not good enough to be hired by BMW Oracle yourself and maybe your wife is too and thats why she is giving you a hard time...
Ey man, you sound like a pathetic and frustrated looser.
Sorry to disappoint you, I do not work in the Cup. Who would want to be associated with either team right now anyway?
well, then I don't understand why you are bashing the families of people working for BMW Oracle in a most disgusting and biased way....
I have the misfortune of knowing alot of them personally. I also know alot of Alinghi people through my work, a much nicer bunch. I am also a woman.
yea right...
Did i miss something. where on this comments page does anyone slag off family members of any team?
The only comment i read was the one wishing Jane good luck. Whats up with that??? Who the hell is jane anyway. Is she a BOR team member or family?? Anyone got any idea?
Strange: You "do not work in the Cup" but then you "know alot of Alinghi people through (your) work"
