la_canadienne: You say you are waiting for a team that is consistent, reliable, and sportsmanlike? Sounds like you are describing Team Jennifer Jones to me. I will also add "classy" to your list of descriptors.

You must not have read everything else I wrote then. Reliable (1 gold and 1 bronze out of 4 world appearances) and classy (replacing a team member who won the slot for a return to the Scotties) would be the last words I would use to describe those chicas. Sly and selfish come to mind?

How about democratic?
If 3/4's of the team want a change, majority rules.
Tough titty.

So why does this thread keep going?

Jones's silence on the matter leads everyone to presume they gave Overton nothing. In any other similar instance, the team cutting an athlete states that they bought out a cut player (or coach). Complete details aren't necessary, just that the right thing was done and that someone isn't getting ripped off.

Jones being silent doesn't appear to anyone as classy. Any one with PR experience understands that you have to tell the fans something. Even Tiger Woods stood up took accountability to his fans. The circumstances are different, of course, but even he understood that keeping quiet simply made things worse.

Jones could take a lesson in that. Speaking up might have actually gained her sympathy instead of animos ity.

Not a good idea to speak for everyone. I think it's possible that Jones' silence is classy because if she spoke the truth it may not be in Cathy O's best interest. Jones did give the fans something, she said (paraphrased) that they wer looking towards the 2014 Olympics and they were looking ofr youth at the third position. True or not, she gave the press that information. It might not be what you like to hear, but she hasn't been completely silent.

Unless you are Cathy O or Jennifer Jones, you don't know whether she was bought out or not.

You miss the point (but then all Jones supporters do). Stand up, tell the fans that you've parted ways and that Overton has been financially compensated for her efforts and giving up the earned opportunities. No other details are necessary and its no different than when a team buys out an athletes contract and they go separate ways.

There, done and classy. What happened instead? nothing. So she and her teammates come off appearing as they likely are, rip-off artists stealing from a loyal teammate. As such Jones deserves no sympathy and will likely not get any for years to come.

Do you ask people what their income is? It's none of your business.
They may have dumped COC because she's an abusive, disrespectful cow.
Jones's silence is not unclassy.

ur saying unreliable cuz she only has 2 world medals. try and count how many people have 4 world appearences in canada. its not like there is a big list. thats pretty reliable. and she constantly is at the top of the world curling tour money list and order of merit. but if you think thats unreliable then i guess ur one hard person to please. but u get ur opinion so thats fine. she has more accomplishments than any other active competitive skip right now. and obviously the 3 team players wanted her gone, and all were on the same page. and obviously cathy o wasnt going to agree with it but the 3 out of 4 wanted her out. that was a team decision. and saying she waited to long to tell her. she told her as soon as the season ended. its not like she broke the news to her a few days before their first event this year or anything.

thats fine that coc gets her 1/4 of the winnings, so they should send her the bill for 1/4 of the expenses too.

The most ironic thing about this whole discussion is the fact that if it were any other curler besides JJ who cut a team member, nobody would utter a peep.

You people are sad.

Ya...I know. You are going to get a lawyer after me and make my head spin.

Nah, I wasn't there. But I know one of the guys singing in the band. I may go watch him.
