Meanwhile, the league says I can't work in it anymore at all because I'm ineligible to work at one of its venues.

A lawsuit against the manager should seriously be considered. There are now actual damages. Throw in some punitives and it might be worth it.

No, a lawsuit wouldn't help. My ineligibility has nothing to do with the manager, the league, or even sports. I'm not complaining about the ineligible part. After all, several NCAA conferences, for example, have prohibitions against umpires working a game involving their alma mater. However, that doesn't preclude them from working the rest of the conference.

In this league, though, that doesn't seem to matter. Vern's back in; I'm out.

Funny how these things work, ain't it?

Well, their attorney did tell me that if he's actually arrested, they'll revisit his status.

And he still has a job. It does not matter what the league says, why does he still have a job to represent them in anyway? Thank God this is not my problem.

Just a reminder to emphasize that the Hasty situation has nothing to do with my ineligibility.
