I have picked up rumors and underlying statements off this board and eteam plus some e-mail. There have even been a couple of comments made on some of the mail lists I belong to. I perceive there has been heated debate about a subject or subjects in the chosen group that is geared to change OUR outlook on this game that we officiate.

The Conspiracy theory.

Recently members of the group have made several posts both here and on eteam that are somewhat against the grain. Yet all (club members) defend the posts with a single voice. As if it where an ant colony with a singular mind.

When the some of unwashed, unclean and untutored have rebelled against these far out IDEAS some of the more out spoken ring leaders have been verbally cut down to size.

The ideas have merit; it’s just that this longhaired country boy isn’t wild about the format of presentation.

I’ll bring up just one of the ideas. “It’s not a balk if the pitcher steps off the rubber with the wrong foot.” I do not condemn or condone this notion. I do condemn the way it’s being pushed in our faces.

Over on eteam this subject was cussed and discussed on several threads. The strange thing was that the masses fought it tooth and nail while the COOL CREW thought it to be the ultimate way to think.

Then on Wed. we get a post here “as to how to be a kinder and gentler nation. (AKA when the Pope dies I’m next in line). I think the cup of grass came on Thur. When I read my end of the week installment of eUmpire. By God there it was again same song different vocalist.

So now I put it together. Those who have Pro training are grumbling. There are more FORMER members of the in crowd coming out of the woodwork. Posts concerning rules set forth by the ULIMATE TEAM must be defended at all cost no dissension, one for all and all for (what ever).

Now I just wonder what all the fuss could have been about. An off the wall theory or how do we dupe the masses?
