    the park isn't used as a concert venue that often (like not as often as Canada Life Center or IGF or even the convention centre)

     

    That's the second concert announcement this year. I feel like there have been many years without any other events besides baseball at Global Shaw Blue Cross Park.

    Yeah, tough to be away from young kids every weekend. 

    And, mornings or evenings. It's really like having a second fulltime job. She's done everything, won everything, is the GOAT. Time to enjoy her family. 

  3. Glenn Howard is playing with his son in the Brier and he's old as dust. 

    Jones has been able to play this long because she's smart and consistent. The physical side has definitely caught up to her. 

    The game can grind you down and playing in bonspiels is grueling. 

    I think about it a lot, of why we don't see older players, but I think it's more physical than you think. Also, eventually, you just can't play that much. To be a top team, you need to play a lot, or win everything you do play, which isn't feasible. 

    Jones' career was stretched out by winning the Scotties so often, she didn't have to win Manitoba each year and then they expanded the size of the pool.

    Sure- but clearly that day ain't here yet.

    But, I don't think @Fatty Liver's take is a horrible one. 

    And, so instead of expecting more out of men, we make young women bend? F*** that. It is a horrible take because it says that men can't control themselves when the reality is that they make their own choices.

    I was referring to what I would advise my daughter if she was in that situation, other women can do whatever they like.  I do not personally see it as a safe work environment filled with really good people with wonderful intentions.  Sue me.

    Even worse. Tell your daughter she can't live her life because we make excuses for pathetic men.

    Not at all, but you're naive if you think a testosterone filled locker room is a certified "work safe environment".  Maybe part of her job was to shoot players up with pain killers so they can perform their duties for our amusement.

    So, yes? Blame the victims because we couldn't possibly ask grown men to not harass the staff.

    If she was my daughter I'd advise taking a job working intimately with 100 football players with no other women in sight was not a good idea, something was bound to happen, and it did.  For cripes sake, her contract only paid $25,000, she could have made more in any other situation.

    We're still blaming the victims? Good god.
