ASA Should Be Ashamed

And I understand these are not all ASA-trained umpires, but some of the mechanics I've seen tonight are questionable.

JMHO

Most of the general public doesn't give a hoot about what logo is on the umpire's hat.

Perhaps ASA is doing this intentionally to put their brand out there?

ISF is the one dropping the ball on this, it seems to me. If the tournament is sanctioned by ISF, it is their place to state requirements to the host, such as umpire uniforms.
