| This young punk (assumption) should be flogged multiple times so he can learn and understand what this league is all about. Trying using your head and think about what you wrote. If you pay your money you should complete the season, things like age, race, reglion or ability are not reason to kick someone off the team. I can guess what team you play for.

| It's interesting that he chose 55...why that age, specifically? The Masters has a minimum age of 40, doesn't it? This must have something to do with HIS team! To each...their own!
The USPL has been a very successful league because we are community based, and an ALL inclusive league. We all have THE RIGHT TO PLAY!
By the way, kid...Neb Gayman played well, in this division, was a strong supporter of the league, and a well respected player and leader on his team until he was seventy.

| Totally agree. The picture on the home page has a 60+ player, 2 55+ players and 50+ player mixed in with a great group of young players who get what this league is all about!! Played with all 15 players who had all levels of ability and nothing better than having a player with perhaps less skill than others come through with a big play or hit and see the whole team cheer them on!! To those who think they can tell others to leave the team or go home you are not good enough to play, hopefully those names come forward to the exec members as you should be removed from the league as you don't deserve the privilege of playing in this great community league!!

All people over 55 don't have the skill left to play.
-
I agree with everyone here....you can't kick a guy off a team - defeats the purpose of the league. That being said, if **personalities** conflict on a team (14 people don't get along with 1 person) that one person should look for a team that would be better suited for him.

| Not sure what you can do. It bugs the crap out of me that GS12 gets exactly what he wants here, no older guys and a short bench for a prolonged playoff run. Steve and Carlo are first class guys who helped build this League into what it's become. I've enjoyed playing against the two of them for the last 25 years, which coincidently dates back to about the time this GS12 was in diapers, sitting around in his own poop all day. Obviously, some seeped through his skin. The guy is just classless....I guess I'll just hope the Baseball Gods make things right !

| There has been a great deal of misinformation regarding our team, MAS. Let me state clearly that WE HAVE NOT ASKED ANY PLAYER TO LEAVE OUR TEAM. I have been asked by a numbers of players in the league about the situation , and I have told them the same. If anyone wants to discuss this with any member of our team, feel free to do so. We certainly are not proud of the fact that 2 players chose to leave, but it is not the first time that this has happened in the USPL, and it will not be the last. Mas is an interesting mix of players. Our older group enjoy our young players tremendously. That being said, there is no way the older group would allow anyone to be asked to leave our team. I trust the trolling will continue through those who choose to operate under a pseudonym. However, when players I respect such as Rick, Chris and Vic are asking questions, I did feel the need to respond.

| Many teams have kicked players off in recent years, it's no secret. Over the years that I've been in this league I can't tell you how many teams have kicked players off. Doesn't seem right that they only punish this one player/team. If they do punish MAS & GS12 it's only fair to punish every player/team that has taken part in these activities. If the exec is goin to make it a precedent to suspend players and punish teams for this behaviour, they can't just pick and choose which teams and players to punish. It needs to be a league wide rule and standard. I did find it rather amusing at the AGM that people were speaking out against this behaviour even though there team is one of the guilty parties over the last few years.
It's going to be very interesting to see how this all plays out

| Hey BallsGoAway, Rather than generically saying that "one of the teams speaking out against this behaviour is one of the guilty parties over the last few years" why don't you come out and name names? I am so sick of the same shit on this board, if you have something to say then say it! Exactly like those in attendance did when they stood up and voiced there concern. Whether you agree or disagree with what they are saying at least the said it on record and not in riddles on a board like this! If it bothered you that much then why didn't you stand up and be heard at the meeting?

| I think the whole point here is that MAS and GS12 have been blasted (to say the least) by some people without seeing any evidence. Why would there be a dispute at the AGM that would just continue this practice?
Tarheel, it could happen that names are named but either way the people claiming the moral high ground should be prepared to stay there if this whole thing blows up. Everyone should get the same sentence whether they’re a young guy/old guy or been in the league 1 year or 20+ years.

It seems like people are trying to get a player kicked out of this league for supposedly kicking a player off a team. Does that mean everyone pushing for that punishment should be kicked out too?
This sounds like an issue for the executives to figure out.

Peoples' opinions are just that, they are like rear ends, everyone has one. Does anyone really care what someone else's negative opinion of them is? Being true to yourself is far more important than worrying what someone else thinks. Me, I would prefer that someone be upfront with me on their negative feelings about me if they had them. It would not make them my enemy. You see the devil you know is always better than the devil you do not know.

| Maturity is the ability to respond to the team environment in an appropriate manner. This response is generally learned rather than instinctive. So if the team is defined as sore losers they set you up to act accordingly.
Maturity also encompasses being aware of the correct time and place to behave and knowing when to send inappropriate emails, according to the circumstances and the culture of the team you play on.
Adult development and maturity theories include the purpose of a team concept, in which maturity emphasizes a clear comprehension of the team's purpose, directedness, and intentionality, which contributes to the feeling that older guys should be removed for their lack of contribution.

| .... so I was in the lot, late last night. No scraps. No handshakes and beers. Nobody kicked off any teams. Just not much action going on at all, after a pretty good ball game.... pussy(s) !

| It's not what you do once in a while it's what you do day in and day out that makes the difference. Don't ever say you're not good enough. If that person on your team can't see how amazing you are, then they're the one who's not good enough for you.

| Such a disappointment when you defend someone for so long thinking they are different and they turn out to be just like what everyone said, sad.

| End of year disband team. Allow them as individuals to re-enter the draft. Assign new team rep and trust other team reps are aware of "meat heads" and will not draft them = Goodbye meat heads. Come to think of it the new team could be called XMAS.

| Only one meathead and bad leader on the team. The rest are great guys. A hint one is the smallest and other one the biggest. Go figure!

| This team defines stupidity, they should rise up against the leader and kick his large butt of the team.

| That is not possible Nate. Most of the other players are naive to his inappropriate moves during the past seasons. His character speaks to his lack of integrity.

| These guys clearly bent the rules last year and won the whole thing. The past is the past, can we move on?
