It's All About the Tusks.
Poaching is on the rise.
Poachers are targeting African elephants for their ivory tusks now more than ever. Thus, several populations are in decline. In 2011, 40 tons of illegal ivory were seized worldwide, the equivalent of 4,000 dead elephants. If this black-market demand continues, elephants may quickly cease to exist in the wild.
Where does the ivory Go?
The ivory tusks cut from elephants are made into carvings, jewelry, utensils and other ornaments and often sold around the world. The increased demand for ivory is coming primarily from Asian countries with booming economies. Weak law enforcement in African and Asian countries makes illegal ivory easier to buy.
Isn't it illegal?
In some African countries the sale or trade of ivory is illegal, while in several southern African countries it is not. After a steep decline in elephant populations in the 1980s, there was a ban on the trade of all ivory. A few years later, some southern African countries were allowed to sell stockpiles of ivory, from poaching or legal hunting, since elephant populations in those areas were stable or over-abundant. Today, legal and illegal ivory is on the market, and it is difficult to tell the difference. Some believe the sale of any ivory drives demand and causes increased poaching of elephants.
Wild Elephant Populations
Although elephant populations are declining in parts of their range, major populations in eastern and southern Africa, accounting for over two- thirds of all known elephants on the continent, have been surveyed and are currently increasing at an average annual rate of 4% per year (Blanc >. 2005, 2007). More than 15,000 elephants are estimated to have been added to the population in 2006 and, if current rates of increase continue, the number of elephants born in these populations between 2005 and 2010 will be larger than the currently estimated total number of elephants in central and west Africa combined. In other words, the increases in southern and eastern Africa are likely to outweigh any likely declines in the other two regions.
While overall populations of elephants in Africa may be on the increase, in the areas where there are too many or not enough elephants, the conditions of the ecosystem suffer. Elephants are keystone species for their native habitat, meaning that other species are dependent on their well being. In order for the ecosystems in each region of elephant to be healthy, so must the elephant populations in those areas. If poaching continues in areas where elephants are already rare, the ecosystem is in even more trouble.
Wild Population Number: 470,000-690,000
IUCN Status: Vulnerable
Population Trend - Increasing

hello summoners. I want to give an idea to Roit Games about something might save our matchs when we have a Disconnected player or a leaver. Well i thought of this and found that its a good idea to share it with you guys. ok Some one disconnected or left from the Team. Most of us will lose our hope of winning and most of the time we lose. However how about if the disconnected player gets replaced by a Bot ? Maybe 5 min after the player disconnected or left we get an option to choose if we want a Bot replacement or not. the Bot will be skilled enough to at least not Feed the other team. maybe the bot can respond to Pings on the mini map. The bot will be able to buy recommended items then i though what happened if the player came back ? well the player will find his character leveled up and has recommended items. What if the Bot kept feeding the enemy ? well maybe we can Disable the bot by /Disable Bot and the team votes Yes/No. This will help all the players out there getting sick of people leaving and Disconnecting. I find it better to have a bot then dead weight doing nothing other then standing in base. Bot are already used in the mode Bots. Why not have them in 5v5s and 3v3s for replacement. guys let Roit Games Know about this so we all can enjoy our LoL
Senior Member
Yessss!!!!! I been thinking bout this too!! Also, I think that if THAT hapens if they reconnect they get reduced Ip. Also in ranked games they get reduced elo (although you get 6 eo for winning... really imba imo ) but thats what I think should Be added.
Wow what an original idea that has never been posted anywhere before. Maybe the bot can also play like a 1,900 elo player so when the crappy guy rage quits his replacement is really good and can carry the team? Have you ever actually played against bots? I have not, but every time I see someone play who thinks they are good from bots they suck balls, so my assumption is that bots are absolutely horrible, thus this is a horrible idea.
I agree with Cry. This would work for people under level 10, but otherwise the bot would just feed like crazy. IMO a better solution would be to have a replacement system, maybe a sidebar in the main page, saying like, "14 minute game needs an Olaf replacement." and if you have Olaf or he's free week you can go in and play him for that team. If it was ranked you would have to be +-100 elo of the average, in normals you would just have to be level 30. TF2lobby does this and it works really well.
Weretiger Rei
I'd rather be down a man than have a bot on my team.

By: Courtney Sacket (Sep 4, 2009)
I absolutely love these products. I started using the 'sweet cheeks' because my daughter got terrible diaper rash and I had tried everything under the sun to get rid of it. A friend of mine recommended sweet cheeks and it cleared her up right away! I was amazed! Anyway, I use it for any skin condition and it works great. I know of some friends that love it for eczema too. I have also used 'calming cold' chest rub, and the nursing tea. Love them both, and the tea is SOOO good (I don't sweeten it or anything). Great customer service too, I have told her of a problem a friend of mine was having and she made a special order to take care of her specific need and had it to her right away! I love these products and definitely recommend them to anyone.

Evolved Collins favourite but timing unclear
PUBLISHED: 06 Mar 2014 04:46:08 | UPDATED: 06 Mar 2014 04:46:08PUBLISHED: 06 Mar 2014 PRINT EDITION: 06 Mar 2014A formation of Collins class submarines transits through Gage Roads and Cockburn Sound. The government is expected to stay with the class rather than opting for a new design, as the previous government proposed. Photo: Damian Pawlenko
John Kerin
An evolved Collins-class has emerged as the favoured option for Australia's next generation of submarines amid signs the much maligned existing boats will remain in service beyond 2030.
The former Labor government's defence white paper pared back the options to an updated Collins or a new design in its 2013 version, but all options are on the table for the Abbott government's new white paper to be completed within 12 months.
Few sources close to defence believe it will opt for a new design given the risk of having an orphan boat class. Treasurer Joe Hockey is said to be uneasy with the mooted pricetag of $36 billion.
Defence Minister David Johnston has also cast doubt on whether Australia will double its fleet to 12, saying the number first mooted in the former prime minister's 2009 white paper has never been justified.
The original Collins sub was a modified Swedish Kockums design and Australia would be unlikely to go without the expertise of one big European diesel submarine builder as well as rely heavily on the US Navy and its systems technology expertise.
One cause for optimism has been the amount of remediation work that has been undertaken on the Collins fleet since the release of the 2012 John Coles report by former defence minister Stephen Smith, which found the fleet was floundering but blamed most of the problems on poor maintenance practices and co-ordination between defence, the navy and submarine maintainer ASC.
Ironically, one reason behind the life extension program is that the hulls of the boats have spent so much time out of the water.
On a visit to the Techport precinct in South Australia, Senator Johnston was happy to report that the availability of the Collins-class boats was as good as it has been for a decade.
Johnston seems to have had a change of heart. When the former Labor government released its 2013 white paper, he said he wouldn't "want to go back near Collins if it was the last thing on earth we had to do''.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott, on the other hand, has always been more circumspect, saying while the Collins had its moments, it was a pretty effective piece of kit. The Australian Financial Review understands that means as many as four of the six boats would be kept in the water.
Some defence sources question the cost of keeping the boats in the water given they are ageing, even as other navies in the region update their fleets, often with cheaper off-the-shelf boats.
"There was talk before the election of the cost of keeping the Collins in the water approaching $1 billion a year and it is only going to get more expensive as they get older,'' one defence source told the Financial Review.
"So it's a question of how much the government is prepared to pay to keep them going,'' the source added.
A nose in front
Australian Strategic Policy Institute analyst Andrew Davies said there was "still scope for a change of direction but the evolved Collins definitely has its nose in front at the moment'.
"The availability of the existing six Collins-class boats is actually ahead of the target and it appears the life extension program will see them through to at least 2030,'' Dr Davies says.
The regional arms race includes not only the big players such as China and Japan, but also Indonesia, Singapore, South Korea and Vietnam.
Labor's 2013 defence white paper retained its earlier target from the more ambitious 2009 document, to double the size of the fleet from six to 12, with the boat being larger than the Collins – 4000 tonnes as opposed to 3000 tonnes – and having greater range and endurance. The Coalition, though less enthusiastic, has eventually come around to the political reality that the new boats will be assembled in Adelaide at the government-owned ASC, given Australia has an indigenous submarine capability, and marginal seats in Adelaide would be at stake otherwise.
As with big ship projects, the work is likely to be spread across other shipyards around Australia.
A debate has raged about the appropriate approach to buying new submarines since the Australian Strategic Policy Institute report in 2009, which estimated it would cost $36 billion to design and build submarines in Australia compared with a $9 billion tag for buying smaller conventional submarines from Europe.
But the purchase of small conventional submarines was suspended after it was considered they simply were not suited to the seas Australian submarines operate in, or the roles which they undertake, which include eavesdropping on long-range patrols on large countries in north-east Asia.
An assessment by the Australian Industry Group has estimated the future submarine program could employ up to 5000 workers and 1000 Australian businesses, many of them small and medium enterprises.
However, the best signal about the Abbott government's future intentions will be its upcoming commission of audit and just how much political skin and money it is prepared to invest in the risky project.

Nike SB Dunk – February 2015 Preview by Patrick Johnson 2 Comments
April 9, 2013 BY Aaron Hope / 7
Sneaker News has shown you quite a lot of what to expect from Nike Skateboarding during the second half of 2013. Apparently there's still more in store, as today we get our first look at a new Nike SB Dunk High blending Dark Atomic Teal and Wolf Grey leathers. It's a murky mix that befits the black Swooshes and tongue tags, but there's also the slightest hint of 'Celtics' Air Jordan 1 OG thanks to the way this green based colorway is blocked, and sits atop the white/gum sole. Stick with Sneaker News for release info on this Dark Atomic Teal Dunk High SB and enjoy some additional images below in the meantime.

BORDENTOWN TWP. — When Anna Price saw the defensive alignment that Manasquan presented with one out in the 10th inning, her mindset was as simple as it gets.
With Kate Lupinacci on third base, Price smacked the game-winning hit over center fielder Katie Barnes' head to propel Bordentown to a 1-0 victory in the Central Jersey Group 2 semifinals Tuesday.

Docker offers a new, lightweight approach to application portability. Applications are shipped using a common container format and managed with a high-level API. Their processes run within isolated namespaces that abstract the operating environment independently of the distribution, versions, network setup, and other details of this environment.

In recent years, holiday audiences have turned up in droves for The Washington Ballet's "The Nutcracker," partly because it's the only presentation of Tchaikovsky's opus that localizes the action. Septime Webre's company sets the play in Georgetown, George Washington is the Nutcracker and that old tyrant King George III is the evil Rat King. What's more, the company usually invites local celebrities to appear as guest stars for specific performances.
Let me cut right to the chase: The Washington Nationals Racing Presidents are going to be making a repeat appearance in "The Nutcracker," "performing" at the evening show Dec. 14. George, Abe, Tom and Teddy. On stage. At the Warner Theatre.
Sure, there's majesty aplenty in the company's ballet, but something tells me nothing is going to equal the visual of Teddy's big grinning head bobbling around a room full of partygoers in fancy Victorian garb. Sight gags just don't get much better.

We've been using this book for a while, and it's a great text. We were really disappointed when the latest batch of books arrived in soft-back form. They just don't last. I have trouble believing that hard-back books can't be produced any more. Now we must buy new books every 2-3 years instead of every 6-10 years.

Acura TSX Replacement Struts Information
Acura creates cars which are optimized for ultimate performance, and that means the TSX just can't perform as meant by the designers without the right replacement parts. If you're the sort of person who drives an Acura TSX, then you know a thing or two about luxury, and you also understand that part of appreciating a fine automobile is only buying the best quality aftermarket and OEM parts. When it comes to bold lines and reliable performance, Acura vehicles effortlessly take the lead. Acura is a dedicated car manufacturer renowned for creating dependable and solid cars. When collectors want the finest in lavishness, style and technology they go with Acura. The durable look of Acura cars provides strong handling and steadfast reliability. Would it make sense to spend a large sum for a nice luxury car, if you plan to be a skinflint with new OEM or aftermarket auto parts? If you want an extremely reliable vehicle with a fine lineage, you'll choose an Acura. A new vehicle requires the most high-end replacement parts you can find. Superb capacity and road performance come from top-notch parts and accessories. One of the most vital components of the suspension system is the car's Acura TSX Struts, which are shock absorbers inside metal coil springs. Since the Acura TSX Struts directly affect the car's handling, struts can be considered to be safety features of the vehicle. When the car's Acura TSX Struts break, it usually has negative consequences for the vehicle's handling, tires and brakes. Standard MacPherson type Acura TSX Struts turn and steer with the front axle, unlike the Chapman variety utilized in the rear tires. Acura TSX Struts are very rugged but the internal coil element can fail, thus requiring removing the whole strut. The Acura you chose was put together with the highest care and expertise; it should have new OEM parts of a similar high level of value. If you have any questions about our parts, our customer service team members are available to you by telephone or by e-mail - with the usual outstanding commitment to the customer!
They are available for the following Acura TSX years: 2014, 2013, 2012, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 14, 13, 12, 09, 08, 07, 06, 05, 04. This part is also sometimes called Acura TSX Shock. We stock struts parts for most Acura models including MDX, TL, RSX, RL, Legend, Integra, RDX, EL, CL, Vigor and CSX.
We stock these Struts brands for the Acura TSX: KYB and Monroe.

Hello and thank you in advance,
I am curious about what any of you would advise in our circumstance. We had a devastating financial setback 18 months ago and approximately $200,000 credit card debt. Somehow or other I was able to cobble together a series of credit card offerings that has sequentially allowed us to pay off this debt at 0% interest rates the whole time. By October of this year our 0% transfer balance options will all be expired and, assuming things go as they have been, I am not concerned that we will be unable to meet this deadline. At this point in time our credit rating is in the low 700s for both my husband and myself and we have the following outstanding balances that need to be paid off by October: AAA card balance at $11,336; a World Points card balance at $5040 (both cards from BofA); two Chase cards, one balance is 5803 and the other is 1807. At present, I am paying off all 4 cards with a plan that will have all four of them at $0 by October but I am wondering, in terms of credit scores, if I am better off paying the minimum on a few of them and focusing on paying off the larger balance sooner than October or if that matters at all. The cards that we currently use and pay off in full each month are a Discover Card, two Amex cards and a Visa card through BofA. We need to replace a car very soon and will be applying for a car loan.
Again, thanking you in advance
04-23-2009 03:53 PM - edited 04-23-2009 03:55 PM
I had a huge amount of credit card debt that I have been able to pay down substantially with 0% offers.
I have seen quite a few 10-40 point changes due to BT activity and utilization changes where I transferred money between accounts that show on my reports and accounts that don't show (business accounts). Want to see a big change - just do a BT on a personal account for $40,000 against a $46,000 limit to Amex LOC that didn't show on my reports!
One action that made a large score change seemed to be maxing out a Credit Line, which I understand is where you exceed 80% utilization on that CL.
Another action that made a large score change seemed to be having a balance on more than half of my open accounts. In my case that was 12 accounts out of 22 total. I remember a big drop from $54 showing on my Kohl's card! Don't forget that is balances showing on your report. Just because you PIF an account by the due date doesn't mean that there is zero showing on the report.
If we assume that all of the amounts in your posting represent less than 50% of each CL, you would probably get the biggest jump by paying off the low balance and having that account add to your list of zero balance accounts. This is where it is great to have a product like Scorewatch so you can see the change to your score fairly quickly.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Bella!
Facts about Bella
- Breed: Italian Greyhound
- Color: Gray/Blue/Silver/Salt & Pepper
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Bella's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Oh hello hello hello! Oh I love people so much I can barely stand it! I want so very much to snuggle with you and cuddle cuddle cuddle!
I am a very sweet purebred Italian Greyhound who is 4 years old. I have lived with my brother Porter my whole life but now our mom is going through a difficult time and wants us to have a better life so we are looking for a new place to call home.
I am house trained and I have good house manners and I promise to make you smile for many years to come!
I am living in foster care so please contact the pixie project to set up a time to meet Porter and myself!
We are both fixed, vaccinated and mircochipped.
Our combined adoption fee is $300
Other Pets at The Pixie Project
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Bella, a Portland Italian Greyhound dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Italian Greyhound for sale in Portland, or seeking a Italian Greyhound dog from a breeder in Portland.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Portland already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Portland breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Italian Greyhound breeders who help with Italian Greyhound rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Portland paves the way for another one to be saved.

The American Dynamics Discover Day/Night Mini Dome has a 1/3" CCD image sensor, providing clear pictures with a horizontal resolution of 540 TV lines. Its auto iris lens automatically adjusts the aperture size, depending on the light conditions.
The Mini Dome comes with a tinted bubble, a bubble liner enhancing covertness. The durable composite and polycarbonate materials from which the mini-dome is constructed have "shape memory", making the unit vandal-resistant.
Equipped with a moving IR cut filter, the True Day/Night camera switches gradually to the black & white mode as the viewing area darkens, offering enhanced IR-sensitive night viewing. Optimal white balance makes neutral (gray, achromatic, white) colors in a scene appear neutral in the reproduction too, allowing the Mini-Dome to offer clear, color-perfect images. Backlight compensation adjusts video gain to correct the exposure when the object being captured is in front of a bright light source.
The Mini-Dome's DVR-saver mode helps conserve valuable hard drive space. It can reduce video file sizes by up to 30% when used with an Intellex digital video management system.
Equipped with an advanced pivoting axis, the Discover Mini-Dome camera can be installed at any required angle. With easy to install mounts (available in two colors - black and white), the camera offers eight mounting options - surface, flush, pendant, wall, wall-pole, wall-exterior corner, inside corner, and electrical box.
- High-impact, vandal-resistant housing that retains shape even after forceful impact
- Snap-on bubble liner for an extra level of covertness
- Advanced pivoting axis provides greater viewing flexibility
- Polycarbonate bubble (clear)
- True Day/Night function with moving IR filter
- Easy installation with eight mounting options (surface, flush, pendant, wall, wall-pole, wall-exterior corner, inside corner, electrical box)
- Discover drone option (acts as a vandalism deterrent with no camera inside)

My club, Cardiff City, are a second tier English football league club (despite being based in Wales) who recently have flirted with promotion to the Premiership (play offs last 3 years) and cup success (losing finalists this 2008 FA Cup, 2012 League Cup). We have new investors from Malaysia, but also some terrible debts and money woes. We've always played in blue. Our crest has a bluebird on. We are known as 'the Bluebirds'. This has been the case for over 100 years. However, is is all set to change. In order to access the Malaysian money, we are changing our home kit to red, presumably the stadium will change to red and we are getting a new 'dragon' crest and logo. A lot of our fans are in uproar about this abandoning of 100 years of history whilst others are more pragmatic. We all want success after all. So my question is, would you be happy if your club did it? Which is more important, staying true to your heritage, or pushing on for he holy grail of Premieship football? (bbc article - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18324804)
I read that a couple of weeks ago. This is disgusting on so many levels. I am not a fan of sheiks and Russian oligarchs buying up clubs and stacking them with players. First and foremost, because it's detrimental to the club's and nation's youth players and talents. What is happening in Cardiff is a whole other level, they don't let the club exist anymore, they are taking away the most elementary point of identification. I am proud to wear my teams colors and crest on my heart, people that see that pragmatic are no fans of the club. Just flip flopping bandwagoners that would jump on the next team if it were to gain success through money. Disgusting!
Certainly not to the extent that's happened at Cardiff. A club's identity is more important than success for me. You have some fantastic clubs who while not at the top end of the table are still brilliant because of what they represent. Athletic Bilbao is an example that comes to mind. Once you dilute the identity then the team becomes just one of many, generic teams. And the success isn't even guaranteed! Cardiff could do this and still not get into the Prem. Would it have been worth it then? At the same time it's up to the fans to ensure the identity remains. The fans will (for the most part) always be there. Owners won't. Edit - Just to add I don't think the two are mutually exclusive. You can respect tradition while also being successful.
Yes. Tradition is not going to entertain or excite me. The best players in the world are going to do that. But buying a buttload of players and cramming it into a team feels cheap and easy. Its not as satisfying a win so i wouldn't want it to go to the extremes that Chelsea and Man City did.
So you don't get more excited when your club plays, than watching another club. If what you say is true we could just have all star games, sounds quite exciting to me.
The thing that sticks in my throat most is that when I look down the road at Swansea City, our biggest rivals, I see a team who are playing good football, a team that are living within their means, a team that have a fantastic chairman and (worst of all) are being successful. All without selling their soul like we appear to have done, and with smaller crowds than we get. They must be loving it right now. Damn them! *shakes fist*
Pretty sad to hear that. These Russian, Arab, American, wtv millionaires are indeed destroying Football. Not only the identity of the clubs disappear, but the tournaments have less parity. I guess you don't oppose the naturalization of foreign players in National teams either as long as your NT performs well in tournaments? You seem to be forgetting the fact that, for most of Man City supporters, their club has only existed for about 2 years or so. Not much tradition there The Americanization of the sport gets more and more inevitable every season. Someday, we'll be calling our clubs "franchises" and no one will remember how they were founded anymore. Please, don't give them ideas.
No because that is not more entertaining than supporting a club through a season. And no to naturilasation of players. That ruins the spirit of international football.
I'm slightly old fashioned in the sense that I still think that tradition is more important than titles. I support a small club, so maybe that is why I'm not overly impressed by billionaires treating clubs like toys. Supporting a club is more about bringing a community together, or at least it used to be. If you can achieve success without having it brought for you, then that is surely so much sweeter? Also, NinjaStoneColdTurtle makes a very good point about the increased Americanization of football, and it's not pretty to see. In 10 years every major team will probably be playing at 'The Pizza Hut Complex' or the 'Tesco Terraces', meh.
I don't get your point there really. You are not for a "naturalisation" of players (beautiful word there), you don't want players "crammed" into teams, you like to follow seasonal football with your favourite players in a team. So that would mean that you pick your favourite team every summer, or before the season starts, depending on their squad and then support them a year, to then re-asses your support? So you are for a naturalisation of teams, but not players?
Keep tradition. OP, it sucks that the new owners didn't give you supporters an option/vote. When my Sounders got bought and promoted to the MLS from the USL, we were at least given the option to keep the Sounders name or choose a different one, vote on the crest, etc.
I think if they had done, they might actually have gotten this result anyway. A lot of people I speak to just want their 100mil they promise to inject (plus wiping out our debts). Without the Malaysian investors we would basically be broke/in administration. So essentially it was a blackmail situation: A changed club or no club?
I thought the fans did get a vote and the fans said no? Although I don't know if that was an official vote or just an opinion poll, but the fans were strongly against it and the owners have gone and done it anyway.
It's hard to tell. There was certainly no official vote, but when they suggested it a month ago there was uproar and the board 'officially announced' that the plan had been shelved. But since then there has been a lot of discussion, and there is a split. Nobody likes this, but some are saying "The club is more than colours and a badge" or "Clubs changed colours before (Leeds changed to White in the 60s for example) why not now?" etc etc.
Haters gon' hate doe!!!! As for my team (I like ManCity, but have a home team here in the states), the Seattle Sounders.......money wouldn't matter. Our league is salary capped with the exception of each team allowed to have I think 3 exemptions. But if we weren't salary capped, I would definitely try and bring in some bigger talent because regardless of money spent, our club would still have awesome traditions. Plus, our club has the richest owners in all of MLS. Big hollywood exec.....and Mr. Paul Allen of Microsoft glory, so money ain't no thang. EDIT: And yes, what Wenches said. The owners inclusion of the fans in some business decisions is great. Give the fans a lot of support in events inside and outside the pitch.
I always wonder how Americans feel with this sort of thing, especially as your sports are more 'franchised' than ours (moving teams across the country for example). Do people still support the same teams if they're relocated to a completely different state?
Thorsdon, that really depends on the person: their background, where they came from, where they live, who their parents supported, etc. But more times than not, no, they don't follow the team if the team moves to a different city. They keep tabs on them, but don't have the same passion.
I don't have a problem with owners spending all the money they want on players to "buy" championships because they aren't breaking any rules. Until concrete rules are installed to prevent such things, I don't see why anyone feels the need to get mad about it. (Real Madrid fan, blah blah blah.) But I don't get the situation with Cardiff at all. Why do they need to completely change the club in order to take over? Why can't they just take over like every other owner/ownership group and try to improve the club (buying players, improving the stadium, improving the facilities, etc.) Why is it necessary to change team colors, logo and such? I'm confused.
The new owners are Malaysian and they are trying to tap into the Asian market for Cardiff. They say that the colour red is more associated with success in Asia than the colour blue (Red Letter day etc). Also, that dragons have a stronger resonance with people over there than Bluebirds. Ergo, they feel the need to change our colour and crest. Seems a bit far fetched though that people in the far East will only support a Red team (and very ambitious that we could compete against Man Utd, Real Madrid, Barcelona et al over there). Maybe I should change my little Avatar to a red guy...
This. For instance......our beloved Seattle Supersonics were stolen from us a few years ago and moved to Oklahoma City (still pissed beyond belief). I cannot for the life of me, root for the Oklahoma City Thunder AT ALL. No way possible. I wish nothing but bad things upon them......yet they are one game away from the NBA Championships. And to be honest, I don't know any Sonic fans who wish OKC well. It depends on the circumstances of a teams departure of course, but ours was completely ****ed up. Thankfully, Seattle negotiated to keep the franchise history and name so that if we do acquire a team in the future, we will be able to retain our old name.
Does anyone know what those fail play rules actually are? I don't see them stopping teams from spending.
That seems so silly to me. If the team succeeds the fans will support it, no matter the color or logo. I feel bad for you guys.
As far as Icahn remember the big problem is that it restricts teams to spending in relation to their income. So the big teams shouldn't have too much of an issue, because they make bucket loads already, but any smaller team wanting to get big will find it harder.
This exactly. As an American, I can't support a team once they leave the city for another. The only exception is I am a fan of the San Francisco 49ers, and they are moving south 40 miles to Santa Clara because the city of San Francisco wouldn't help them get a new stadium (prices are sky high for property, the current locations is horrible and their current stadium is far and away the worst in the league), but they are staying the SF 49ers and will be affiliated with the city still after the move in a year and a half because of how entrenched they are within the fabric of the community.
Yeah, I've been wondering......you live in Olympia I'm assuming and I see in your sig you are a fan of a very diverse geographical region of teams. Have you lived in many different places or did you just grow up in a culture where those teams were rooted for in your household? Not criticizing, just wondering. I pretty much keep everything in state. Seattle Seahawks, Sounders, Mariners, Huskies (I consider the cougars an Idaho team), Former Sonics (), etc.
@gfunkera10 Yea, I was born and raised in Santa Clara, and my dad is a HUGE 49ers/Giants fan. I maintain ties to the region with other family, and growing up I only really liked football, baseball and soccer. My family moved up here in the mid 90's (before the MLS started), so I didn't get into the San Jose Earthquakes or MLS teams until the Sounders organized in MLS. I got on the Man U bandwagon in the 90's when my grandmother, knowing I played and loved soccer, bought me a subscription to a soccer magazine, and I read this article about how Manchester United had started integrating "Fergie's Fledgling's" into his rotation and I thought it was cool all these young players were coming though, so I started following them in 1994 or 95, I can't remember which. As far as Notre Dame Fighting Irish, I was catholic for a long time and had another catholic friend who was really into them for football, so I picked them up, along with the Huskies when my mom taught at UW for a summer. However, I stopped being a fan of theirs until Ty was fired, since he was rat faced individual. I do like the Mariners and follow them as well (love Safeco field. LOVE it). Liked the Sonics, but I was never the biggest basketball fan. However, I revile the Thunder. Cliff notes: - I'm from Santa Clara, moved to Washington in the 90's. - Follow those teams first, local teams second. - Became Sounders fan when they formed. - Followed Man U since the 90's as a kid through soccer magazine. - Irish fan because I was catholic
And now I know. I think it'll be better for the Niners in Santa Clara. I have family down in the Bay Area so I'm a fan of San Francisco as a city. Great place. The Mariners have been making it VERY difficult to be a fan the past bunch of years. Their whole philosophy is just continually backfiring and yet they still want us fans to "hang in there". Wasn't a Willingham fan either, though I did like Neuheisel and thought the whole getting in trouble for an office pool was absolutely ridiculous. It's an office pool. Anyways, we can let this topic get back.......on topic.
BUT IT DOESN'T RHYME! I'm totally bringing this thread up when Carrow Road is renamed 'Burger King Bowl'
Say what you want about the "Americanization" of football, but our leagues do have salary caps and parity. A billionaire can't just buy an NFL team an instantly have them when Super Bowl after Super Bowl. I get your point about the "franchise" aspect of it of course. Just throwing that out there. Oh, and to answer the question. No.
Your point is still invalid. Major League Baseball doesn't have a salary cap, and the big spenders have only won 4 titles in the last decade. Many small market, low budget teams have won the title. Honestly, the only major difference between US sports and European football is (outside of American football) is we have far more games total, and more games between rivals. A lot more can happen that way.
wow, this went off topic! It's a shame what Cardiff have done, but, I think it was the correct decision! - They have been knocking at the door of being a bigger/better/more competitive club for a while and not quite made it - The new investment might just be the nudge they need to tip them over the line to growing into a bigger cllub Fact is, a colour is a colour - Changing that shouldn't change the ideals and motivators behind the players and the staff!
Sports are all about tradition, community, sticking with your team through thick and thin, etc. Sorry, but that club isn't really even Cardiff City anymore. They are simply a billionaire's newest toy.
I think most people would be okay with the money coming in (even if they wont admit it), but I wouldn't want the tradition to change no matter what. I think in the situation you described, I would eventually still have to cheer for the team, have to have a team and its not going to be someone else. It's out of my (your) control - its not like it a fan vote on the issue but if there are some protests and what not I would support those, with the changes being that drastic.
