[ASA/NYSSOBLUE]

Our hs association was involved in a legal matter which was settled. All parties agreed to settle, with the aggrieved party reinstated. All through the process, we ,as the Admistrative Committee ( I am an ump rep on the committee, as opposed to being an officer) were al told to basically keep all details to ones self.

Well.....we all wake up in this morning, and find in the paper a HUGE article about the person who was suing us before - he is also suing the local hoops/hardball officials...and we find out half the article is about OUR lawsuit, and there are all sorts of quotes from the person who was our Secretary/Treasurer during this period! He is directly quoted about the actual
settlement, but there ARE quotes about it from 'another source' - which we all
know what THAT means.

Now, we already have an E-Board meeting scheduled tonight about this- several have already called for at least his suspension, if not outright expulsion. And there is another problem - this person also happens to be the president of our local ASA association, AND is our local PONY assignor. I know that personally, I am so disgusted with this individual, that I feel he should not be involved in softball in ANY way in this area.

All you UIC's out there - is there anything we can do????? What did is not directly related to the ASA/PONY stuff, but I feel it is detrimental to softball AND UMPIRING in this area in toto.


thanks in advance!
