Yeah. We knew they weren't going to release anything, the whole point was to create a situation where Trump's lackeys like Bondi who are in charge of these supposedly independent organizations break the law and can therefore be held accountable for following illegal orders.

Make sure to vote in the midterms folks.

    It's precisely because teams are signing multi million dollar contracts with these athletes. These organizations are smart enough to know that they will get a better long term return on investment from these athletes if they get proper evaluation, care, and rest from an injury than if they push the athlete to "play through" the injury.

    Professional athletes are also much more self aware of what is an injury that needs rest and what is something that they can play through. See for example George Springer immediately taking himself out of the game during the World Series, knowing that it wasn't something he could just "tough out".

    Either that, or he's smart enough to know how ignorant and batshit crazy his supporters are. I'm not sure who I blame more. Insane billionaires like Trump have always existed, it's only NOW that there are enough stupid people out there to give him unlimited power.
