agreed...except for the part of being disproportionatly held to the rules...ANYONE who has ever crossed over to a rival federation, has been met with the same result.
Yes...that is true. But what I meant is that you could basically apply any number of other rules to other pros and suspend them, but that does not happen because they are on "good behaviour" so to speak. For instance, technically speaking, any pro can be banned from competition for substance use, but clearly that rule would not be upheld. I am assuming from Tim's post that felony convictions are also grounds for dismissal? Not sure if that is true, but if it is true, I'm sure that Victor Martinez would have it held against him, but only if he upset the "powers that be". As long as he remains on good behaviour I'm sure he will be allowed to continue to compete despite his criminal record.
Quoted for truth.
Sad, but absolutely true. American politics matter a lot to me because Canada is far from independent from the USA!
