Abstained, recused; tomato, tomahto. He didn't vote. His reason was either bogus or he should have never accepted the position to begin with. IF he had voted and voted FOR softball, it would be played in the London Olympics. Maybe a big contract with European interests was on the line. Maybe he was sucking up to the Frog. Whatever, he betrayed the USA and the sport of international softball in my view.
