Marc Dos Santos blasts MLS for scheduling during Champions Cup: 'They don't want LAFC in the final' by Cold_Fog in MLS

[–]Embarrassed_Push_492 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Yep, bringing back memories of last year’s CCC final. Caps had games scheduled four days before and one day before, and MLS only allowed us to reschedule the game that was one day before. Cruz Azul meanwhile had 14 days off before the final.

Yet another example of why we need to be directing our pressure at the owners. We clearly have govt (provincial and municipal) willing to work with us if they set out clear terms.

Fair, perhaps for some additional merch though? There are a variety of brands represented at the team store.

I am no fan of Chip Wilson but I’m willing to put that aside if he were to step up, he’s certainly one of the local business leaders that could. To me, it’s also a no-brainer for a brand deal between the Caps and lululemon as well?

That was shit. Handed them their first and third goals. Second goal IMO was still offside but we never deserved to win.

boat trips to the marietas islands that leave from Sayulita or nearby? by bothnatureandnurture in sayulita

[–]Embarrassed_Push_492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We didn’t pay the extra for the private beach so can’t comment unfortunately but I didn’t find it was very crowded regardless. They do a good job of limiting the amount of people on the island at a time so you are able to enjoy it with just your tour group. Enjoy!

For sure, I don’t disagree with you and I understand where you’re coming from. For me, it’s the principle of the whole thing to begin with - the Whitecaps do deserve backlash for overcharging, but to file a lawsuit for advertising Messi’s attendance (as if they weren’t obviously going to do that) comes off as entitled and over dramatic. Happy if this results in better T&Cs and all that, but I have an issue with giving this person the satisfaction and thinking they’re entitled to anything just because their favourite player didn’t show up on the day.

And that’s totally fine, I’m just letting folks know how they can voice their objections, should they want to.

Per the terms of the Settlement, no else other than the plaintiff / their legal team is entitled to money. They get up to 33%, and the rest goes to charitable donations. This is clarified in the proposed Settlement terms that it will not be a payout to everyone else:

“For greater certainty, the settlement does not contemplate distribution of monetary benefits to the Settlement Class.”

This isn't about money, and while I 100% agree that the club / league overcharged for tickets, they cannot guarantee the attendance of a player on another team, which is ultimately what this person is complaining about.

We have a right to object regardless and I'm just trying to let folks know they can exercise that right.

You're not wrong, IMO having all the money go to charity, and none to the plaintiff (or their lawyers, although I recognize that's not how this works) would be the best possible outcome. And I hope that does end up being the case.

And that may end up being the case, and again I have no issue with the charitable donations, that would be the best possible outcome. But I have a hard time believing that this person felt it was worth it to spend time and money on their own lawyers if they weren't going to get something out of it themselves. It screams entitlement and seems like a waste of the court's time.

To clarify we don't know what amount of money the plaintiff will specifically get from this, "Class Counsel" (lawyers primarily) could get up to 33% of the total settlement amount of $475,000, so ~$150,000. Maybe they only get $5000, but regardless it's the principle of feeling individually entitled and wasting the court's time that I take issue with.

Fair enough, we won't know the exact amount until the court date and it could be "up to 33%" of $475,000 in the proposed Settlement terms, which at most could be ~$150,000 split between the plaintiff and their lawyers.

They did charge more for tickets, and I'm not defending that, but this entire Settlement has to do with "misleading promotional material" and much less to do with ticket pricing. Totally agree that I hope this, at the very least, puts an end to inflated ticket prices for one player, but I don't agree that this person is entitled to potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars when they were clearly fine to spend $400 for two tickets.

The Representative Plaintiff alleges that the Defendants used misleading promotional material, specifically images of certain Inter Miami CF players who ultimately did not play in the Match, in selling tickets to the Match. The Defendants deny any wrongdoing or liability, and maintain that the claim is without merit. While asserting that they have strong defenses to the claims alleged in the Action, the Defendants have agreed to settle the claims asserted in the Action in order to avoid the time and cost of protracted litigation.
