MLB Insiders Are Reportedly Unhappy With the Marlins Following COVID-19 Outbreak

It appears the Miami Marlins have made MLB insiders "very unhappy." 

Earlier this week, it was reported that the team had at least 14 confirmed coronavirus cases among its players and coaching staff; This alarmingly high number had jumped to 21 by Friday morning. Though none of the players who tested positive have exhibited serious symptoms, the MLB has postponed all Marlins' games through Sunday as they conduct an investigation into the outbreak. 

According to Bleacher Report's Scott Miller, the high number of infections likely stems from careless behavior among Marlins athletes. Investigators reportedly determined that the players failed to comply with isolation protocols during their trip to Atlanta last weekend. 

"#MLB internal investigation found the #Marlins were very lapse in following protocols during Atlanta trip," Miller tweeted Friday, "... players going out, players in hotel bar, etc. Lots of MLB people very unhappy with Miami."

ESPN's Marly Rivera shared a similar report.

But Miami isn't the only franchise that's dealing with COVID-19 infections. The Phillies suspended all team activities this week after a coach and clubhouse attendant contracted the disease. The St. Louis Cardinals also postponed their Friday game against the Milwaukee Brewers after two of its players had tested positive for coronavirus.

Sources told ESPN that MLB commissioner Rob Manfred has warned that recent outbreak has put the entire season at risk. According to the report, Manfred issued the warning during a Friday conversation with MLB Players Association executive director Tony Clark. 

Per ESPN:

Should another outbreak materialize, Manfred, who has the power to shut down the season, could move in that direction. Multiple players briefed on the call fear the season could be shut down as soon as Monday if positive tests jump or if players continue not to strictly abide by the league's protocols.

The MLB has also reportedly issued stricter safety protocols in an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. According to Miller, each team must now designate a "compliance officer" who will ensure all athletes and staff follow the league's safety and health guidelines.

https://ift.tt/3qSH1Ig Nos encontramos ante un contexto económico y empresarial sin precedentes en nuestra historia moderna . La crisis provocada por la pandemia ha hecho que el Gobierno se haya visto obligado a poner en marcha una serie de medidas con el fin de preservar la financiación de pymes y autónomos y evitar que una crisis de liquidez pueda poner en riesgo su viabilidad, entre las que destacan los créditos ICO . Sin embargo, la banca no lo está poniendo nada fácil . Según las últimas estadísticas del Banco de España , correspondientes al mes de enero de 2021, la TAE de las nuevas operaciones de financiación de cuantía inferior a los 250.000 euros, que se suele asociar con las pymes y los autónomos, se situó en enero en el 3,48 por ciento TAE, casi un punto más que en el mes de diciembre de 2020 (2,55 por ciento TAE). Este repunte se explica fundamentalmente por un mayor volumen de comisiones aplicadas en los préstamos y créditos bancarios. De hecho, el TEDR (la TAE excluyen...

Colorado High School Coach Says He Was Forced to Resign Because He’s Gay

-
https://ift.tt/Oj01b3 Colorado high school students are demonstrating in support of Inoke Tonga, a volleyball coach who claims he was forced to resign from his job because of his sexuality.  According to the  Denver Post , Tonga left his position at Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch, where he had coached the volleyball team during the 2020-2021 school year. The coach said he intended to continue his role for the upcoming season, but was essentially pressured to leave his job after school administrators found out he was gay through his social media activity. Tonga says administrators had called him in for a meeting, in which they expressed their concerns over his sexuality and the affect it may have on the students. “I sat in the room being grilled about how being gay is a ‘danger’ to the school and to the kids,” Tonga wrote on Instagram. “That with me ‘identifying as a gay man, they can’t put the kids at risk by having me in front of them.’” He cont...
