i hope one day poeple will wake up and put an end to this.
I hope so too, for the sake of the game (and not any team in particular) .... however, it doesn't look well:
** SMC & MVP now controls most key businesses in the country. As an offshoot, they will ensure ultra-loaded lineups with their PBA teams ..... win at all costs, ethics be damned.
** SMC, MVP & their pimp (Lina group) make up 70% of the PBA ..... add the impending (it's most likely sold already) sale of POWERADE back to SMC and that's 80% of the PBA .....
this is what you call bloc majority. (see PHOENIX's doomed PBA application).
** PBA Commish Chito Salud says all the right things ..... but he's all bark, no bite.
It's extremely obvious that the Lina group is in the business of selling players, just as it's obvious that both SMC & MVP are in a buying spree .... yet, Salud does nothing at all .....
what Chito Salud does, is just regulating the greed. ** ALASKA has long battled with the PBA & SMC about the blatant violations ..... yet they've received little support, since majority of fans nowadays are player fans (read: fantards) rather than true followers of the sport.
For the sake of the sport, let's just hope that Mr. Uytengsu keeps his PBA team and keep fighting for what's right.
