What I don't agree with and feel is in very poor taste is the list they have put together with phone numbers and such and the calls to people's homes at all hours and the things that have been said to young children and wives that came directly from AMLU guys. Most people have caller id and your number shows up too and you can be traced by them! OK, so the SCABS as you would call them have crossed the line, that doesn't mean that you have to; or are you just as bad as them? Are you making it OK for them to cross?
Second is the practice of walking up to the drunk folks and instructing them to yell at the umpires on the field. Be better than that and if you can't be man enough to yell yourself.
The actions of some will hurt the future for all, and will be used against you by the leagues. It is chicken **** and it needs to stop. If you have a problem with a guy, call him and talk to him, if you have to yell at him during a game do it wearing your jacket yourself.
I am not defending anyone that crosses, but those of you that partake in these actions are just as bad as the SCABS!
Anyone agree or disagree?

I personally haven't heard of such things (can you site a credible source for such accusations?); if they are happening, it is against specific instructions given by AMLU leadership. Understand that in any situation where you have 220+ young men, somebody is going to act stupid. Not an excuse, just the way it is. While I am not an AMLU member, trust me when I say that the leadership and the other members of the AMLU will not stand for such nonsense. My guess is that a good portion of anything "outside the lines" going on may be being done by supporters but not members(AMLU guys have alot to loose here and know it.).
