I'm unwilling to play the national anthem before games in the heart of Minneapolis. Going to eat the fines.

So, an opposing team violated a written bylaw with stated penalties but because their owner was on the board they paid no penalties.
I called and emailed multiple times for a week with no answer so put the story on social. Got fined $600. Broke no written league rule.

Friends, at this point, I had emailed multiple times to all staff and Exec Board as outlined and not been responded to.
Cindy said “you need to proposed these X days before the meeting in writing.”
I held up my phone and said “I have my email here that shows I did. Twice.”

RULES ONLY EXIST TO PUNISH THE UNCONNECTED.
Otherwise they are ignored or changed.
But when, at the 2021 Owners Meeting, I followed the written process to propose bylaws and rules changes…
Well, I was ignored until I just stood up and started talking.

THEN during Covid the Board of Directors just extended their terms without a vote or communication to teams of anything like that—though it is in the bylaws.
And though email communications are league standard and were social distanced. They got away with it too.

Tulsa's homegrown stadium set-up is awesome. I'd love to do something like this in Minneapolis.
Special thanks to Justin Meade at Anchor Paint. This season they helped make Hicks Park greener and greener with their paint!
And it’s just the start as we continue to upgrade and improve our new home at Hicks Park. We’re already getting started on 2023.

Anyway then they put in a rule WITH NO VOTE (and this is a rule I proposed we overturn that they just ignored) that you had to be a Conference Liaison before being a Board Member.

Then I was told that my bylaws proposals were just “rules” and that Cindy had sole authority to set rules.
I then held up the printed bylaws in one hand (my other, to be fair, had my beer) and said “it shows right here that I’m suggesting a bylaw edit, here in the bylaws.”

Anyway, I didn’t sit down. I ran through my Robert’s Rules of Order to propose a vote. I was told it would be done over email.
I took a swig of my beer.
It was never done over email despite repeated follow ups via email and phone.
The Execs don’t follow their own rules.

Outside of a national team game, the context is wrong for the anthem because the context is wrong for respectful consideration of sacrifice.

We did also, in an email newsletter, make reference to TwinStars’ brutalism while referencing Piet Mondrian.
A high class reference to a low class history of red cards, biting(!), and yellows by them against us.
Some people don’t appreciate modern art.

Apparently that tweet was racist against Germans and that, and the Mondrian (a Dutch artist but whatevs) thing, was reason for the Conference as a whole to move to push us out of the league.
Now, an accusation of racism is a serious thing. Not to be thrown around unseriously.

Well, the whole conference voted to make the league make us leave—despite us breaking no rules—OR ELSE!!!1! they would leave!
Turns out though, an Animal House GIF is not reason enough for removal from the league. Nor was any of the rest.
They didn’t leave though.

She then pushed me to John Noonan, a league member who ran the disciplinary committee and apparently rules(?) who said that because of Covid maybe next year even though their own Article of Incorporation and Bylaws said that Members could propose rules changes.
