Message: [QUOTE="outlaw, post: 3307594, member: 3507"] [URL='https://www.soctakes.com/2019/10/24/hartford-athletic-problems/']Players allege poor treatment at Hartford Athletic [/URL] Checked in with a buddy of mine at the club - he's validated this and said its much worse. Bruce Mandell just does not produce positive press. Really have a hard time with this: [I]Questionable approach to health-related decisions: [/I]Multiple players allege that Mandell intervened to prevent injured players from obtaining MRIs, chiropractic services and counseling. Multiple players corroborated this allegation. One player, Tyler David, shared his story which was not a direct corroboration of this allegation. David suffered a hip injury midway through the season. “I was waiting four weeks to get an MRI. Worker’s compensation company told me they weren’t being sent any request for an MRI from the club, so I didn’t get an MRI until later. I later found out that that I had a complete adductor tear and had to get a surgery two weeks later.” David reiterated that he does not know whether the delay was an insurance company error or team error. This is just plain wrong: [I]Unfair player fine:[/I] Early during the 2019 season, Mandell attempted to fine a player a week’s wages while the player was away from the club for the birth of his child. This was in spite of the fact that a clause was inserted into the player’s contract, specifying that he was to leave mid-August for the birth of his child, and that the club would pay for his flight. Soc Takes reached out to the player for comment and none was received. [/QUOTE]
