Sigh...
So many people who don't know the whole story, read a few rants from columnists in newspapers, and then think they understand the whole situation.
The WOA has policies and procedures - including a process for gaining permission to do things like use pink whistles during games. The PNFOA did not follow those procedures. It's not the first time. They were told to do it right and basically told the WOA "screw you, we're gonna do it our way." Now they get the consequence - why did it take so long? Because the WOA Board only meets a couple of times a year.
This had absolutely nothing to do with the WOA not supporting cancer research, or not wanting officials to donate their money...it has everything to do with a small group of people in charge of this one local association trying to out-muscle the State association. Didn't work, so they went whining to the press back in the fall.
