You spend countless hours logged into that site and have certainly read how the beseeched their brethren. You are looking for an out and there isn't one in sight.
If I read your explanation properly, it is acceptable for an AMLU umpire to take that prime amateur job simply because he is available. Hmmmm, that sounds a lot like the replacements stepping in and working those MiLB games. Except that only one of those groups promised that they wouldn't do it. I can't wait to see how you try to explain this one.

Let's get a few facts straight & not relay on he/she said:
1. AMLU has stated that members are fine to work games booked before the strike (Those scheduled before spring training &/or before reporting to regular season assignment).
2. It's Ok to accept games no one else is available or willing to do.
So, if there is a game where no one else is available or willing you would prefer the game not be played? Now THAT's being a hypocrite!
I stated that I would check into the issue & respond back with facts and I will.
