| Message | The problem, KD, is whether its the GCFA or the TUFA, TUFL or whatever league that operates at this level is unfortunately exposed to criticism from all. Whether folks want to reveal their identity is something that we will always have to face. We all have great ideas and thoughts and opinions on how things could be done, should be done, but the reality of the situation, is that until all owners, coaches, and team members are willing to commit themselves fully to their teams and buy into their respective programs to help develop, the controversy will always be there.This venue topic of discussion is prime example of how things are reflective from one season to the next...whether the teams are able to afford the ridiculous priced venues, what type of behavior do our players and fans exhibit when attending, the level of play and behavior the spectators get to witness, etc...all are influential to the growth of any league. What players need to realize is that they are a pivotal part of how all this goes down. Very few teams are financially fat, therefore the players have fees to assist in operating and uniform costs which most are reluctant to pay, but yet the most vocal when they arent happy with how things are ran in their organization. All of us have to do our part...from the owners of the leagues, to the staff of the leagues, all the way down to the chain gang....if we dont handle business correctly, this whole thing will never be given due respect from anyone. |
