LL Minn vs Iows

[Rich Ives]

The signature, which I took back off after one post, was not meant to set a pecking order. It was meant to say that of there are no games due to no organization and/or participants, then there is no need for officials. We are all necessary. In our league the officials are part on the league, not hired from the outside so I do have a real appreciation for them.

OTOH, the managers, coaches, and umpires are hired/appointed (depending on the organization and level) by the league officials so there is a pecking order.

Millions of volunteers, not only in LL but in other youth organizatios in baseball, soccer, basketball, hockey, football, and others spend countless hours trying theor best to provides sports opportuities for youth around the world. Others are doing things like Boy and Girl Scouts.

Then a select few piss all over us and our organizations and we have to sit there and take it and not respond? Not where I live.
