PBA's latest news release reports thus:

PBA NEWS RELEASE FEBRUARY, 9, 2010

The walkout staged by Talk N’ Text that marred Game 4 of its quarterfinal match-up with Barangay Ginebra last Friday cost the Tropang Texters over P1 million in penalty.

Besides forfeiting Game 4 in favor of the Kings, PBA commissioner Sonny Barrios levied a P500,000 fine on Talk N’ Text, the amount of which shall be paid to Barangay Ginebra under section 32 of the PBA constitution and by-laws.

On top of that, TNT’s share in the gate receipts and TV revenues for that game, which could be anywhere from P200,000 to P250,000, has also been forfeited in favor of the nine other PBA ballclubs.

FEU Needs To Make A Formal Accusation

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

Accusation, accusal (a formal charge of wrongdoing brought against a person; the act of imputing blame or guilt).

These days, Mark Barroca is in the hotseat. FEU has recently said more or less, that the reason he isn't playing is either because 'the team expressed dissatisfaction with his play' and / or he 'gave in to temptation'. On the other hand, Barroca himself issued a statement detailing how sorry he is about what happened (whatever it is), and how he is moving on (again, from whatever it is).

The problem is, there cannot be any moving on, there cannot be any apologies or acceptance of apologies without primarily explaining what it is he's accused of having done.

Otherwise, there are two scenarios:

One: Either Barroca has been a victim of mismanagement - because you can't just kick a player out due to 'bad play' or

Two: He's getting away with murder - because if he sold a game, he has more than FEU or the UAAP to answer to.
