Athletes Rep - hold athletes accountable
« on: June 12, 2006, 10:52:16 PM »
Bob, this crap has gone far enough with Kamali and his threats. It's about time the Federation and the Rep (you) start running this half Assad organization like a professional organization. I say hold any "athlete" ::) (oh brother) accountable that is under contract with the IFBB and that would continue to give the IFBB and bodybuilding alike a bad reputation....anotherwor ds, like any franchise or league in just about any sport, DECIPLINE THE "ATHLETE" for his or her actions that would be detrimental to the organization itself.

If you want to play like the big boys NFL, MLB, NBA even the PGA, etc the you have to act like the big boys by fines, suspensions, etc and that includes holding them to a high moral standard. I don't really blame anyone except the organizations that let their "athletes" get away with such actions like your boy Kamali has done and I'm defiantly not just pointing the finger at him, but anyone who is a detriment to the industry. Bottom line......there needs to be some sort of a high moral industry (no threats, no riskay photoshoots, no calling out a judge, etc,etc you get the point) standard and fines to be set. This industry is a total laughing stock and no one wants to do anything about it.

BTW, this should go for the PDI and any sponsor who represents an "athlete" !!

Sniff, sniff.

I smell libel/defamation, hopefully Kamali won't read this thread and forward it to his lawyers and have you in prison for the next 5 years after he sues you and takes away your house.

It's not just about Kamali, it's about trying to bring a little decency to screwed a up Federation, besides, Kamali's too stupid to make such a move!

Bob is there to defend the athletes. It is not his duty to stand up to King for the internet trashtalkers. Get your own internet-pencilnecks representative to stand up for you

I'm not legal consul for IFBB pro's...they are free to use their rights to do whatever they wish...suing included.

If King wishes to bring a libel/slander suit against Rob...thats his choice. The minute Rob decided he wanted to be a "public figure" like the rest of us pro's on here who post under our real names...he forfeited the right to remain anonymous....He's in the same boat we are as far as I'm concerned.

Now he can be held accountable for his actions...He better hope King doesn't have a summons slapped on him, as he would have to hire a lawyer, etc.....King has a unlimited resource to bring an action...I know Rob doesn't. With a business that pays him minimum wage, and a baby on the way...I'm not so sure Rob can afford to defend himself and spend thousands of dollars on a defense. King can..

Oh well....be careful what you wish for, you just may get it.

Maybe the IFBB should discipline Kamali, maybe they shouldn't. I haven't checked on how his actions on PBB would interfere with his IFBB contract.

But regardless if he deserves to be disciplined...

I know one thing: The Athlete Rep should not do it. He/she should be a support of the bodybuilder, helping to create a balance between IFBB and the bodybuilders. It's not the role of the Athlete Rep to discipline BBs.

You need to not take this stuff so seriously. I know you have a hard on for King but come on.  ::) Personally I think this whole thing is funny and it doesn't not affect my "other life"  ;D because I do not let it. That simple. King laughs his ass off about all this stuff and the great thing is, no matter what, you guys will always make sure he is the most popular guy on Getbig.

No, what I meant was that he doesn't take all the other stuff so seriously. Bringing someones wife and nationality into it is something else.

I actually had to agree with quite a bit of what King had to say.  Sure, he goes a little berzerk when it comes to 240, and that makes him look bad.  He was probably right when he said he had to stay away from the boards so that people wouldn't drive him nuts.  I hate for him to not post on the boards though, he definitely keeps it entertaining.

Both Bob and yourself are missing the point of this subject, it's not just about Kamali or suing, it's about holding the "athletes" to a higher standard. If Kamali wants to sue, fine, it's his prerogative, but when things get out of hand and it becomes a detriment to the industry (inappropriate posing, threats to another athlete, official or otherwise etc,etc) the Federation or sponsor should discipline that particular "athlete", just about all sports franchises and leagues do it and for the most part it does keep the athletes in line....the IFBB and PDI should do the same.

The PDI will punish all it's members by sending them back to the IFBB

Yes all punished PDI members will be exile to the island of Molokai with all the Lepers.  It is also one of the most beautiful places on earth.

It's good to see people are taking this thread so seriously, because it was meant to be a serious thread, if it's alright for guys like the picture below to represent the industry, it just tells me that no one, the IFBB officials and the "athletes rep" included gives a shit.............

So king will beat down 240 by spending his parent's and wife's money on mounting a legal case that is doomed for failure?

Wow what a big man he is ::)
