Gmg01747 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 So my league manager proposed a trade last night: I give Lacy and Odell Beckham Jr., and he gives LaGarret Blount, Jeremy Hill, and Alshon Jeffrey. I accepted. Today, Packers announced Lacy lost his starting role. So League Manager vetoed the deal this afternoon, saying it was an unfair deal. One that he proposed. Unlucky for him, yes. But not unfair. Is there anyone who thinks this should have been vetoed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy Named Suh Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Man, this guy is shady. When you get the 200 responses saying how slimy that move is, I hope you show him this thread. Ask him if he would have done that for anyone else, and them throw rocks at him if he says yes. He has no business running a lemonade stand let alone a FF league. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowboutthemCowboys Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I think it's been almost a week since one of these threads was started. Surprising. Anyway, no trade should be vetoed evah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorttynaz Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Hopefully every member of that league bails. 100% abuse of commissioner privilege. It's not like Lacy is out of a job. He's still gonna get touches.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gmg01747 Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 Thanks. That's what I was thinking. That happened to me a few years ago. Traded Calvin Johnson (in his prime) for Jamaal Charles. The next day, Charles tore his ACL. Them's the breaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he balks at that, it's time to threaten grievous bodily injury. This guy could use a good whoopin'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popcrnchicken Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) Blatant abuse of powers. Had your trade been with anyone else, there wouldn't have been a veto. Because he has the power, he used it. I would bench all my players and quit. Honestly, ODB is worth Blount, Jeffrey, and Hill alone.

the outlaw Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 LOL...I'm not sure I understand what happened between the time the trade was agreed to and when it was vetoed...notwithstanding McCarthy's announcement, Lacy was fat, slow, and sucked, yesterday, and everyone who follows football knew Starks had already "unofficially" taken over several weeks ago...Dill Josh Gordon commish just got "buyer's remorse" and tried to use the McCarthy official announcement as an excuse...I say hold him to it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awesomebench Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) Abuse of commish power! Commish veto power is to avoid collusion. Not to negate his own mistakes. If not corrected, i would immediately quit the league. Edited November 12, 2015 by awesomebench Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolphin_Akie Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Same as every other veto thread unfortunately, cut bait with the league and join one where the commish acts in the interests of the league and not his own team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 < sigh > If you play in a league that allows vetoes you shouldn't be surprised when a veto occurs. There you go again, and of course BA likes your stupid nonsense. This wasn't an vote by owners to veto. Do you guys only play in leagues where nobody (not even the commish) can refuse to process a trade no matter what. Even if there's video evidence of collusion? You guys should start your own perfect rules league. This is clear abuse of commish power, almost all (very many, whatever) leagues will have the commish with the ability to approve trades once owners agree to terms. Using that power to overturn a trade he now realizes is bad is bogus. Unless there's some rule in the leauge in your league that covers it, something like "if a player is hurt/benched/demoted after trade is accepted by owners the commish will automatically reject it." By the way, the OP and other owners should keep competing this year and can only hope the commish doesn't pull more BS moves to help him win. Then collect your wiinnings and tell this tool you'll never be back, in fact the entire league (minus him) will continue and add a new owner and select an honest person to be commish.

So if you play in a league that allows vetoes you shouldn't cry when vetoes happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude...un-pucker a notch or two. I see what you are saying, this was a commish move, not a league type veto, so the discussion is a little off track in that sense. Personally, I think there should be a commish veto just to nip any attempts at collusion in the bud. But I also agree with Grits's point that allowing a democratic veto is basically inviting this sort of BS, so people should pretty much expect it to happen if they are going to play in a league that allows it.

Running Wilde Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 This is a clear abuse of the position. There should never be a reason for a commish to veto his own trade, in essence he approved it already simply by agreeing to the trade in the first place. As a league everyone should demand he fulfill his trade or be replaced. I guarantee if two others players made this trade and one of the parties requested the commish to veto it he'd tell them "tough honda." Sometimes you get burned in trades, it's just a part of the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
