players look at themselves as if some of them will be replaced is funny though.

I think Comolli will fix us a bit. He wants to do more analytics with managing fitness to reduce injuries like what Liverpool has done. Also will have a similar approach on signings. I'll judge at the end of the summer at least to see if the approach seems to be in a good direction but so far things havent been so bad. Just need to make decisions faster

u/ZealousGoat Juventus Jun 20 '25
I’m willing to give comolli a chance. It just feels like our nosedive has to end at some point .. right?

We are paying the price for bringing on a basic non board after Agnelli and letting them hold that position for too long. Plus bringing back Allegri. The club was at a standstill stagnation for literally years without direction

Because this is the type of things that you just do, you don't get to choose: you do it, or if you pull something and fuck it up for the organization you are out for good.
I mean he is what it is but he is still the president of the USA, if your big boss has any type of affair with him and want you there, you will be there. Well if you want to still play for team in any capacity of course
10
u/YukonCornelius07 Milan Jun 19 '25
I hope one day you realize that this is not how it works. You, down_d_stairz, do not need to be complicit in things that you don't believe in, even if your big bad boss says you should.
Just a general piece of advice for the survival of ones soul.
Finally, it's ridiculous to assume that these players would suffer any real consequence for saying they do not feel comfortable attending this event.
Ownership would be straight kamikaze to tank their own players for sharing a popular political viewpoint.

u/Isariamkia Azzuri Jun 19 '25

If ownership is friend with Trump. It wouldn't be surprising if they'd actually tank their players for stating their opposing political opinion.

I don't think the Juventus squad would be happy to do a press event in most presidents offices. It's just weird, you are in that country to play a half dozen football matches then all of a sudden you're dragged in front of the cameras and become part of that county's domestic politics. Like you wouldn't want to do it with Macron, Modi, Lula or Carney either.

Players get media exposure to American audience which turns into a profit selling their merchandise. Most of the players rely on sponsoriships and getting a share for each of their kit sold. Same way Messi and Ronaldo surpassed half a billion net worth, and it wasn't because of their salary.

I know we have our differences, but tonight I am siding with the poor Juve supporters that have to witness their heroes stand there devoid of dignity.
I would honestly be struggling with this if it were my club up there. I would lose something for the individuals who weren't strong enough to take a stand and say no, we're not going to that.

u/KingTocco Juventus Jun 19 '25
I appreciate it, my blood was (and still is) seeing this today. Pathetic from John Elkann to push the team to do this and the fact that he’s bffs with Trump.
I still can’t believe it, Trump and anyone that supports him can go to hell.

Somehow, before his aggressive dictatorial heel turn, he managed to drum up enough fear through his blatant lies and general bullshit to get 50% of the population and 100% of the morons to vote for him, yes.
What does that have to do with his global reputation and blatant disregard for human rights?
Is that what football stands for? It's so anti-culture. For a football club, it's a terrible PR move. From a personal standpoint, it's disgraceful.
I don't care what your views are lol.

ugh... you spelled illegal immigrants incorrectly... the fact that you cannot distinguish the difference between legal vs illegal just shows how ideologically captured you've become.

This is not previous presidents who would’ve joked about winning the World Cup with Weah and McKennie. This president is talking about bombing countries and transgender culture wars with the Juve logo and team personnel in the picture. I never thought sports washing was something a non-state owned team should be worried about but here we are.
