Tess is standing at sitting next to Steve’s desk. Steve is Tractorpull’ main baseball writer. Tess also does a weekly baseball column. Tess “I’m concerned about my Cardinals. Right now we are in first place, but we got serious pitching problems. We are using relievers as starting pitchers and on top of that we only have three dependable relievers.
Steve: “You do indeed have a problem and it is probably going to be the Cardinals downfall.
Fred appears at the door of his office and says “Tess come on in here. I need to talk to you”
Tess enters the office. “Fred have a seat”
Tess taking a seat “What have I done wrong now?”
Fred: Nothing I just want to talk to you about Theron’s future fights. By the way, you didn’t think you could stop the Jaguar tournament did you?”
Tess: “Of course not, I was just giving Taylor Hawkins the usual Tractorpull welcome to the FCBA. We are not going to stop these minor titles from being created
Fred: “Well have you seen all the fighters who have been recommended for the tournament”
Tess “Yes”
Fred: “Well, you have noticed all the fighters who are over fifty? There seems to be no reluctance of managers to fight a fighter over fifty, so if Charlize want to fight a fighter over fifty, we have let her fight anyone she want’s regardless of age”
Tess: “No problem, but how about the last fight in time. Right now it’s three years”
Fred: “We have stumbled badly in that. We let the time to fight Charlize slip by us. Fortunately we only have two fighters haven’t done right by, Phoebe Tonkin and Liv Tyler. I have adjusted Charlize’s schedule so we can move them as soon as possible. Tonkin and Liv Tyler will both go in August Both have been informed. Now we can’t this happen again. We need to avoid being accused of blundering Charlize’s schedule. We have to stop booking so many fights in advance. I’m not just blaming you. I have a bigger responsibility for the blunders I just wanted you to know how I have changed our philosophy. Charlize can fight anyone she wants to regardless of age. If we think she is making a mistake, we will tell her but the final decision is hers. As to time since an opponents last fight, we stop booking so many fights in advance, Once we do, it shouldn’t be a problem
Tess: “I have no problem with that. Charlize is very smart as her business dealings indicate. Now how about my next fight?"
Fred: "I’m working on it but finding an opponent your size is a problem, but I promise you.who ever it is, she won’t be over fifty”
Tess: "I don't get the same break as Charlize?
Fred: "Not until you get to be forty-six"
Tess: "I'm a victim of age discrimination"
Fred: "Yes and now get out of here, I have work to do
Tess: "I'm gone"
