Karen
I will offer no apologies for any of my personal opinions for they are my own, if you are affended by something I say when I am being strait forward and honest then I'm sorry that affends you but I am not sorry for having my point of view.
You seem to be more concerned about picking apart everything I say and less concerned about answering very simple questions, is there a reason for this?
BTW yes my wife and I can solve anything with a few hours of discussion so saying that WWC and AAA are trying to unite while you and your spouse are representing them is a funny statement to me.
You are taking this very personaly it seems, my accusation as you have chose to define it is for anyone on the USAF board who has had a chance to make a change for the greater good of the sport and did not, once upon a time I read detailed emails sent back and forth from the AAA and the USAA in reguards to your little fued so I know far more than you think. I believe also at the time this was about trying to conform for the greater good of the sport so it could become an olympic sport.
Karen I never questioned your love of the sport, I said "anyone who claims to love the sport" meaning anyone and everyone.
I believe if you are involved with armwrestling it must be because you enjoy it but maybe our veiws on what is best for the sport are different, I just don't see how anyone could think having multiple national titles is a good thing and what other than money would stop us from having a real Unified Nationals, what is the benefit we all share by having three nationals events?

I would love to see all orgs under the same umbrella group..usaf..same rules same equipment and each org hold a regional championship...nal..ual..naa.usaa..aaa but as bill said getting them to do anything togather is pulling teeth Really??? Then why so much praise and worship to the UAL? Run by USAF member Bill Collins!!! The UAL does not use WAF standard Tables, Straps, Rules or Weight Classes, so why is it USAA and AAA are your main target? Shouldn't the UAL be lumped in with that group for not following suit? You want everyone to jump in and work together to legitimize the sport, so then shouldn't the UAL have done the same? Shouldn't the have started down the righteous path and used WAF Tables, Straps, Rules or Weight Classes? Pot calling the Kettle Black?  |

David, I guess the defunct WWC will need to put on a tournament. Last year I gave my spot to ROTN as I had agreed to do. I am currently working on an event for the 40th anniversary of WWC, which will be held the second weekend of October. I didn't want to post anything because I like to do so when the contract is signed.
But more details to follow.

Im not posting to offer any opinion, but it seems many leaders/ promoters are following this thread. So Im just posting to say thank you for what you have all done, John and Karen for many years, Pete more recently, you all made it possible for a normal guy to have a good time competing.
You all have pride in what you have built, and done, so I imagine it stings a bit to have this stuff go on. Hopefully you are all aware regardless of where this goes in the future many people have befitted from your efforts, thank you all.

Pot calling the Kettle Black? first off I do understand that trying to package a product for TV requires something slightly different for entertainment value, to my knowledge there are only two companys trying to achieve this and they have quickly found a way to work togather to better themselves, I know I know its hard to believe they are not fighting over whos rules are better, who's strap is better, who's tournaments are run correctly, instead they got togather in the interest of making things happen that probably will give you night mares because if armwrestling ever gets a weekly,monthly, annually tv show or becomes an olympic sport you will have been WRONG.....are these things you say will never happen really not something you care to see is that why you are such a hater? and why the sudden hatred for UAL and you have yet to start in on ARMWARS who is now affiliated? second, where is my worship to the UAL? |
