Not sure the hostility here...
I mean , yes there are other organizations, but given the fluctuating weight classes... Hokey poke rule differences... Thin class representation....Level of non professionalism... C'mon, hating because someone is solving it and taking an approach to secure talent and open a level of opportunity for them... Why is that bad ?
Listen, just because hundreds won't get "paid" doesn't mean opportunity to isn't... And let's be honest... At 99% of the events out there people lose money participating in... Even the cash prizes are silly... Fly cross country ... Stay a few nights... And if you win the whole kitten caboodle you get back $1000 or less... So unless you are slumming it and eating from the vending machines... You didn't break even either... Nevermind most purses are smaller than that.
What's here is an opportunity... It's on you to seize it, nobody is gonna break your arm to participate... Just like nobody twisted mine to sign on... There are plenty of people chomping at the bit to be involved.
Hey, I was basically retired, and I think Kevin bongard was... So me signing where I can pull is hilarious because I wasn't pulling anywhere.., neither was he... So what's the difference ?
Contracting " who and when" I can pull is a hoot too... Because once this gets underway... It'll be more pulling than I did in the last 8 years... And everyone will be scratching at the door to be in the events... Why wouldn't they?... The events are the most professional I ever been to..., so the pool of people to pull with will be vast.
This sport has been in stall mode... Now it has been kicks started... No worries if you guys don't like it... I'm eager as a 3 peckered owl !!!
This is like when home depot popped up on the scene... Slashing prices... Overwhelming inventory... There was a lot of hate from smaller lumber yards... But let's be honest, if there wasn't a demand or void to be filled.... Home depot woulda gone away because people woulda stayed loyal... Instead people jumped ship... Watched home depot basically end the days of local lumber yards... And nobody shed one tear... Because in terms of what people need and want... No matter all the gripes... Home depot fills the voids and is the big show.... That's business, and it was a consumer preference and the small business owners resistance to change that made it happen... Not home depot... They just did their thing... Everyone else made their play.
Happy labor day all you happy chaps !!!
