Dakota,
Problem with LL is things get wayyy too person off the feild. LL stuff gets mixed with personal lives and it doesnt work. Here, if someone is ejected, its a crime of the umpire to do that, and it leads to the umpire getting kicked off the feild, weather or not it was justifiable. Also, there is people in postions, such as UIC, that are 1. not umpires, never done a game in their life, 2. totally not qualified for the job. Its not true of all leagues, but it is for one of the leagues ive done games for. Heres what happened that ticked me off. I do games for leagues a&b. League A is interleaguing against League B in B's park. I eject 2 League A coaches, all hell busts loose. First, the UIC in league A, isnt an ump, shes some lady (League B's is umpire), UIC of A, has a son on A's team, and is there at the park, she goes over talks to them!!! When i get done, she comes over and tells me District UIC told her not to let me do a game the next day in A's park. (total lie, i spoke w/ him after the game). Anyhow, she takes it personal, I end up speaking what i think, President is very good friends with her, so i get booted from the league after an ejection of a coach who was a board member. District UIC tries to help, not much he can do. At this point, ive had it with LL. This league is nothing but idiots. Things get personal off the feild. I come back and do all stars, which the leagues have no say in who umpires games in their host parks, so i was assigned to 9-10s Bball, which is in league A's park, so needless to say i wasnt welcomed there, but they respeceted me
Now tell me, do you see a problem with LL ?
