DaveTV1 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 That's what Disney reported, but the Brazilian soccer group said that it is false. From the article : In other developments, a Brazilian soccer group refuted reports Monday that Chapecoense was fined almost $30,000 for missing its final match of the season against Atletico Mineiro. .

RETIREDFAN1 Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 The player hasn't backed that "group" up.......I'd have to hear it from him and the other one.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flukeshot Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 It's of course not true, but even if it had been the fine would've been levied at the clubs and not the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RETIREDFAN1 Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 So y'all think the NEW YORK POST would print something not true???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveTV1 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 So y'all think the NEW YORK POST would print something not true???? It did say the club, but the Confederation stated that it has not fined the club. Did you read the article ? From the article : ESPN Deportes initially reported that the Brazilian Football Confederation fined the team $29,850 and handed the teams automatic 3-0 defeats for not playing.

flukeshot Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 So y'all think the NEW YORK POST would print something not true???? Yup, because they did. I think it's safe to suppose that the Post doesn't know much about the subject one way or the other. The basis for the claim was an erroneous article at ESPN Deportes.

Doomer Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 If they do this for soccer, might just target a real sport next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
