CBS New York picked up on the SuperDraft story: http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2017/01/13/nycfc-mls-superdraft/
Wow- what you wrote is pure projection. How is Mix being a shithead? Seriously, give examples or give up that line of thought.
AHABS his tweets/snapchats.
Why do you seem to always take the position that Mix has to be 100% pure and blameless?
#mobilepost
His tweets/snapchats are many things, usually cryptic, but by no means are they shithead material.
Midas Mulligan said it best, and I'm paraphrasing, but Mix has given absolutely no reason to question his motives whereas saying the same thing about the FO is a step beyond what is reasonable to take.
AHABS we are dealing with imprecise information. Mix was given a perma ban for some reason that we don't know. That's generally an extreme sanction. It is reasonable speculation to believe that he engaged in unacceptable behavior. It's possible that he didn't and PV is Jose Mourninho. We don't know. But it is possible that he is responsible for causing this stand-off. Having an advantageous contract sometimes allows you to retain leverage (and your job) even though you may have acted inappropriately in a manner that doesn't rise to the level of cause. That may or may not be the case here. The team seriously hamstrung itself with an awful contract giving Mix the opportunity to use that leverage even if he has engaged in inappropriate conduct. Both sides likely have dug in their heels and acted unreasonably and irrationally to the detriment of both sides, the team and the fans. If a reasonable compromise is not possible due to the stubbornness of both/either, the team needs to bite the bullet and release and pay (or play him in some capacity if a clean slate for both sides is feasible, and clear minds conclude that he's a useful player going forward.)

Well said. And you cant disagree with it. But someone will.
My TL; DR of that: Doesn't matter who/what is at fault as to the cause. All that matters now is that it is solely on the club to sort this shit out instead of burning 20% of our cap to make a point.
First, I have to note that Garbowski's Rule™ kicked in immediately on this thread. Second, does anybody know whether if the club buys out a 2-year contract does it use up 2 years worth of uncharged buyouts under MLS rules? I can read the rule and it would seem the answer is it does not because it doesn't say otherwise, but MLS so who knows.
I think your interpretation is correct based on sound jurisprudence. To interpret the rule otherwise would be a presumption that the rule's author/s intended a very strict prohibition they then did not include in the text. You'd have to be a real Ruth Bader to go that route.
That particular interpretation would be a stretch. The rule is to buy out a contract, not buy out a portion of the contract, and a contract is singular.
Hey! Don't trash talk The Notorius RBG.
Not trashing. Just citing an example. And her name is so much fun to say.
I think the word you are looking for is conjecture.
And it's not. He's a headcase to deal with.
Another good NYCFC person to follow. Wherever there's the media or David Villa, @NicoleChayet
