Those are very serious allegations considering you do not have both sides of the story

Have you not been paying attention to what's going on? They're not allegations--it is what it is, bro.  People aren't even allowed to view evidence being used against them...? People are getting ridiculous discplinary actions placed against them like "lifetime probation" (seriously???)...? People are being "removed" from boards willy nilly as if anyone who even questions things has to be silenced...? I mean what is the deal, folks?! This isn't Communist China... you don't have to place black bags over peoples head to shut them up so they won't offer dissenting opinions...or FACT for that matter.

There's no "both sides", there's obviously ten sides to these stories. Crazy! It's obvious that the boards themselves need a system of checks and balances to prevent this kind of ridiculous behavior. How many times do I have to be told (or do others have to say) "we're all in this for the kids" before someone stops and realizes that parent egos are the problem--and they're no in it for the kids.

Also worthy of mention: you didn't actually acknowlegde the message/meaning in my post. That is NOT the answer. Period.

Then don't participate in the organization.......Start your own.

 

I didn't like the way little league was run.......I didn't cry on a board about how unfair it was, I left and put my son on a select team.......that was the BEST thing I could have ever done. 

 

and Madmen....instead of being flabbergasted, start your own investigation.....take the bull by the horns......

 

post your findings here..... ;)

Riiiiight! What a great answer. When presented with unethical, corrupt and biased members of an otherwise good organization, the obvious answer is to just start another one, not clean up the bad eggs.

Seriously? The "if you don't like it, go somewhere else" adage is seriously not applicable here. Yes, it's a distinct possibility, but it's not the right, ethical, or correct way to move forward.
