MELBOURNE? May 20 (Xinhua) -- Players in Australia' s biggest sports competition? the Australian Football League (AFL)? may go on strike if league bosses do not agree to pay them a fixed percentage of league revenues.
The AFL Players Association (AFLPA)? who represents the competition' s 800 players? said it would not back down from its request for a 25 to 30 percent share of industry revenues.
"Players are fully united in our push for the percentage share model proposed ... on our behalf?" AFLPA board member and 300-game player for North Melbourne? Drew Petrie? said in comments published by News Corp on Friday.
"We strongly believe it' s the best approach that footy can take to ensure the game thrives now and in the future."
The AFLPA and AFL met on Tuesday this week? where the league was briefed on the players' "true partnership" model.
Currently? AFL players collect around 21.2 percent of league revenues. The bulk of the sport' s money comes from the sale of the AFL' s broadcast rights? which netted 1.8 billion U.S. dollars in a six-year deal last year.
The average salary of an AFL player hit 218?500 U.S. dollars (A$302?000) per season in 2015. However? the sport' s highest paid superstars can earn more than 750?000 dollars? one-tenth of a club' s entire salary cap.
Fremantle Dockers captain and AFLPA President? Matthew Pavlich? said the group would dig in and wouldn' t be retreating from its wage proposal.
"What we' re looking to legitimately achieve is to have players entrenched as genuine partners with the AFL? clubs and fans to grow the game?" Pavlich told News Corp.
"This revenue share model best reflects an opportunity to achieve this? and quite simply it' s a model that is both sensible and reasonable."
Pavlich said the model was based on similar agreements struck in the NBA? NFL and cricket competitions? which have all adopted fixed percentage schemes.
"Many other sports? both here in Australia and internationally have implemented revenue share models and have been extremely successful in growing the game and providing benefit not just to athletes? but to clubs and fans as a result?" he said.
According to reports? the players' union has told the AFL that athletes are willing to settle for smaller salaries should revenue fall. But if the game grows they stand to collect a bigger pay packet.
Elite Australian rules footballers have never staged a strike in 120 years of AFLVFL history.
Dieting and losing weight are probably the most common New Year’s Resolutions that anyone ever makes. And yet Nike Air VaporMax 97 Beige Weiß Kaufen , no matter how sincere we seem to be in January, sticking to those resolutions come February or March seems to be near impossible. So, what is it that slows us down or stops us in our tracks? And how can we jump those hurdles and keep pressing on toward our goals so we can get fit in time for summer?
One of the most common misconceptions about weight loss and dieting is that we must cut fat out of our diet in order to drop pounds. This simply is not true. Some fat in your diet is actually essential to good health, and cutting it out can even prevent weight loss Nike Air VaporMax 97 Metallic Gold Günstig , at least long term. To get fit in time for summer, make sure you get plenty of healthy fat from good sources such as cheese, nuts, yogurt Nike Air Max 97 UL '17 SE Schwarz Kaufen , and meat.
Another myth about dieting is that you cannot eat sugar or desserts. While it’s true that you should try to cut back on these high-calorie, low nutrition foods, cutting them completely out of your diet may make you crave them more, which will only cause you to fall off the wagon later on. Of course binging on too many sweets won’t help you lose weight and get fit Nike Air Max 97 Ultra '17 Rot Kaufen , but having the occasional treat now and then might help you stay on track.
Something else to watch out for are your beverages. Most people don’t realize how many calories they consume in what they drink each day. Soft drinks and fruit juice are loaded with sugar. Even all natural fruit juice is not a “freebie” in the dieting game. Coffees have a lot of calories if you use cream or whole milk to whiten them, sugar, and flavored syrups. Read all your drink labels carefully, and choose wisely. Overall Sale Herren Nike Air Max TN Schwarz , choose water.
What should you eat a lot of? Try to include as many fruits and vegetables as you can within your day. “Five a day” may not actually be enough. Take a look at your snacks and see if you can substitute some of those high-carbohydrate foods like granola bars and toast with bananas, apples, carrot sticks, or dried cranberries. Get plenty of protein through lean meats Damen Nike Air Max Plus TN Ultra Weiß Schweiz , nuts, beans, and dairy products. If you’re a vegetarian or vegan, try some high-protein meal bars that are low in sugar. And make sure that you get plenty of calcium Herren Nike Air Max TN Plus Ultra Grün Kaufen , either through dairy products, or in a dietary supplement.
But the best thing you can do to help your body burn more calories is regular exercise. Aim for structured exercise of some kind at least four times a week; more if you can squeeze it into your routine. You can also try doing your exercise in short bouts of five to ten minutes each and then tallying them up at the end of the day. Not only does this make it easier to fit exercising into your day, it also means you’re raising your heart rate multiple times a day which keeps your metabolism burning at a higher rate for longer. If it’s too cold to exercise outside, use a stationary bike Herren Nike Air Max Plus TN Ultra Schwarz Weiß Schweiz , jog in place, or do a workout DVD.
So, to get fit for summer, change your diet and get moving. The days are ticking by Schweiz Herren Nike Air Max TN Triple Black , but you still have time.
