Bautista boycotting Sportsnet

[The Cats Ass]

After taxes and paying all sorts of fees, I don't think Travis should be paying for $3,000 suits just because. They should pay for it and good for Bautista

 

This. That 507K gets taken down pretty quick considering tax will take about half.

[Spanky99]

GotStyle didn't do anything wrong here. Why pay for the suit if you don't need to? They weren't ones directing the segment. Sportsnet probably just called them up a couple days before and asked if they'd be okay with Hazel Mae & Co. bringing TV cameras into the store.

 

Gotstyle pays for the Rogers employees suits/dresses as an ad on every segment of their Sports newscasts. They're both at fault and "used" Devon Travis as another promotion to both their industries.

[KingKat]

 

But here's an idea, why doesn't he just return the suit?

 

I'm assuming the suit was tailored.

[Spanky99]

I am pretty sure GotStyle is a sponsor.... After every sportsnet segment you hear.... Broadcasters clothing provided by: GotStyle

 

Yup.

Um... k... but most people reading this thread will never make $250K a year in their life.

BAUTISTA IS A WHINER AND A BAD CLUBHOUSE GUY-

 

wait, nope, he's awesome nvm

GotStyle commented on the article:

 

For the record, at Gotstyle, we gave everything to Devon Travis at 50% off. He paid less than $900 for a three piece suit, dress shirt, tie, belt and boots (and that includes taxes). We also altered everything that same day and delivered it to his place so he could wear the outfit to take his mom out for dinner when she was in town the next day.

 

I like that Bautista is doing this but I hope it doesn't sour his relationship with the team.

That actually sounds like a pretty good deal.

[Slade]

Good for Jose, Travis would easily get shafted for this if someone like Jose didn't say anything.

 

I know we're probably all thinking they make a lot of money and they can afford it but it's the principle.

[Boxcar]

That actually sounds like a pretty good deal.

 

Indeed but probably worth it for them. This wasn't a charity piece, Hazel is making money, GotStyle secures future money via advertising, Travis loses money. It's not right no matter how much the suit costs.

Sounds like a good deal. We all buy suits for work and don't get this kind of treatment.

[Inklink]

He's right in principle, but not worth souring a relationship over what he might spend on dinner some nights.

I doubt it. It's not like the Rogers executives/front office are jipping him.

 

This type of decision rests on someone at sportsnet that signs off on these things, probably the VP of marketing

Poor Travis only making half a Mil, can't pay for his the suit... we should send him some welfare checks in the mail.

You won't last past the week. I'd put twenty on that

[HERPDERP]

I'd last on league min easily.

 

You probably only need 1-2 suits tops. You can comfortably rent sub $2000 a month or bunk with someone else. All your meals except breakfast/home snacks are paid for.

[FFantasy]

Not sure people realize how much league min is... it's more then most president's and CEO's at major corporations make.

You're cute <3

[Krylian]

That's easy to do when you don't have money.

 

I'll boycott them too!

 

I have money.

[LGBJ29]

This was also in May...

 

If Travis gets sent down in his rookie year much like Pompey, he's suddenly making 50k not 500

Guilty by association.

 

I'm boycotting you too now.

Sportsnet = suck. MLB.TV FTW!! #FYSMC.

 

MLB.TV is overrated. The video is rarely smooth throughout an entire game and you don't get to see any of the pregame/post game.

Maybe an issue on your end? Always smooth for me, even on phone/tablet.

This prob has more to do with your crappy connection / bandwidth / ISP.

[BlueBirdBro]

Beeston's hourly cigar cost put the personal appearance budget way over.

what people don't realize is that half a mil may be all he makes in his career. It's not like he can just go out and spend it all he needs to save most of that money for his future/retirement.

Poor Rogers, can't pay for a half-price suit... we should sent them some welfare checks in the mail.

[Dr. Dinger]

You can watch any game, any broadcast, on any device for less than $150/year. It's a freaking steal.

[Krylian]

Look at it this way...if Rogers covered Travis' suit, they wouldn't have had the money to add David Price for the playoff push.

No, it's there s***** video player. I get smoother streams watching on Kodi through the Sports Devil add on, and still watch any game I want. TBF I have read some people have more luck with the old video player, but I cancelled before trying it out.
