Transaction references

Placing the AFL transactions page as a reference isn't the best idea as it will be updated every day and eventually you will not see the Carder move.DMC511 17:38, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

You can't have a statement like, "player was placed on league suspension" without a reference. It's a BLP issue.

I added the other "cn" template because it's weird that a player is on two teams at once (I assume that's what's going on). It would be nice to have some context as to why/how that is the case. — X96lee15 (talk) 17:45, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what do to since I agree the reference will be stale after some period of time. Remove the part about being suspended? — X96lee15 (talk) 17:50, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a rundown of what AFL transactions mean. http://news.yahoo.com/renaming-arena-football-league-transactions-fan-opinion-132800934.html http://sports.yahoo.com/arena/news?slug=ycn-8585031 These two links will give more of an explaining of what these transactions mean, as I know you and I have had our differences on other WMU players in the AFL. Carder was placed on league suspension because he has the opportunity to go play at a "lower level" while the Barnstormers still control his rights if they have an injury, or someone else in the league wants to trade for him. Since the AFL doesn't get that much publicity, I can't find a reference for this move, but how to state it in his article without actually stating it the correct way, I am unsure of how to do that.
