UPDATE on BJK not paying their players

I want you to think about all the players who might not be in a position to stand up against orgs scamming them, who actually needs the money to pay rent or help their family out in any way. It's completely understandable if they want to sign an NDA to get the money they are owed, but we shouldn't have to sign anything when we already have contracts saying we should get monthly salary on x date.

If we want Esport to be as serious as other sports at some point, we have to call people out when they act like this.To me it seems like Besiktas for a while have been well aware of the situation, and still choose to be selfish hoping it will work out for them.

After I posted my last twitlonger, I've been in contact with them trying to find a solution. The pictures on imgur pretty much sums it up. I agreed to taking down the post after they started paying their players what they are owed, but they aren't interested in signing that and I'm guessing that's because they still have no guaranteed way to get money into the org.

1.They pretty much admit to knowing that suing them wont help, so they aren't scared of it because "you won't get anywhere". They don't understand why I dont want to take the post down before they pay their players either. Players need to have each others backs

2. They will pay "in the next few days". Yeah, definitely not like they said this since March or something? It's also 5 days since they typed that and I haven't seen any update.

3. Apparently I DAMAGED THE COMPANY and have to make up for it because they don't hold up their end of the deal. What about being honest about the situation from the start and letting the players know the instant they aren't able to pay?

Remember, its the players fault that they sign people without having any guaranteed income!

4. Yes, please get me to sign an NDA to shut up when I already have a contract saying I should get paid every month?



I guess it's also worth to mention that people who play for Besiktas get different deadlines for payment and they just stall it every time the deadline comes. I also have no idea how the management/owners manage to lose money when they got over 800 000 dollars to the club from investors, I guess some of them kept a bit too much of the money to themselves. I've also heard that BJK have been a mess for 2 years with poor management according to people messaging me in private.
