I saw your previous post on this matter and I've been mulling it over since.
It's scary.
The fact that steemsports has threatened @dantheman with a press release speaks volumes of their intentions and I for one have unfollowed them.
I think there will be a lot of people behind you on this, but daren't do anything singularly for fear of getting noticed and flagged. steemsports has become a big hitter where rep is concerned and I suppose the only thing to be thankful for, where powering down is concerned, is that if they had kept it all, they would be well on their way to becoming even more powerful.
I've upvoted and will resteem this post.

This seems to be a bone of contention. If I can clarify that it's MY perception that a threat was hinted at - veiled or otherwise - that I'm commenting on here.
I interpreted the announcement of a press release as a threat.
Wow, this is really concerning! Do you have a link to where this happened?
nuts!
Here is the comment from @dantheman
I would like to see the actual 'press release' that was mentioned. Does anyone have a link to it? I can't find it anywhere on our official @steemsports, @steemsportsfund blogs.
I'd also like to see whatever Dan was talking about before jumping to any conclusions.
where ? 😕
Thanks for that.
He didn't say they 'threatened' him or anyone, you misquoted him. He said they 'made' a press release. I haven't seen it though.
Yes, I admit no one said 'threatened', I read that into the text for myself.
At this level, the only reason someone with a lot to lose would inform a company that they are about to make a press release which will paint a bleak picture of the company is to gain leverage and 'persuade' them to re-think their strategy.
I'm sometimes a little too 'say it as I see it' and the way I saw that was as a threat - Either you allow us to continue as we are, or else I'll make this press release...
I read it on this thread... wait a sec, I'll find it for you

This is insane. I am looking into that right now.
