Well, that's the reason that most people don't give a **** about much. So basically you're saying you won't care as long as they keep it hidden, or can so easily give you a falsified number. Fantastic, let's not stick up for anything right, we might as well let the gas and oil companies to continue drilling, especially in the ocean. Hell, let them set a drill up in your back yard. Long as the keep hiding the real amount of pollutants their putting into the atmosphere and giving bull**** stories about how their not really destroying water supplies and polluting the air. Everyone will continue to not be caring. Let's not take a proactive approach to anything just as the oil companies do, and when **** hits the fan we'll continue to lie until one person can finally show proof. Then pay them off in court with a detailed contract saying they can't reveal their findings to the public; then move on as if nothing happened. It's the principle of the fact, if you can't afford drinks, don't drink. It's that simple. Just as you stated Lewis, until you see a sufficient "amount" of evidence that affects you personally let's not care at all. You're just like the rest of blatantly; dare I say ignorant people in this country. UNTIL SOMETHING AFFECTS YOU PERSONALLY. Let's not care about it. Who cares how much money they're spending to buy drinks? It shouldn't be happening period. I like the quote from the other board, there is no defense needed when there is no action to defend.
When you signed up if they asked you if an undisclosed amount of your entry fee to the tournaments, and PDGA membership could be used to buy drinks for the staff, while they met to possibly better the sport, you'd say yes? While that sounds fantastic, sure what's a couple drinks, then they take that from 1000 people, put it in a fund and only to buy alcohol for them. When you say "What's a couple drinks for a few days while they're meeting to better the sport?" If they can't afford a few drinks at dinner on their own dollar, what gives them the right to take money you all work for to pay for their food and drink? Whether it's of the alcoholic nature or simply water. Everyone post daily on this board about bull**** that goes on around the world that could simply be avoided if money was spent to better the sport. There is **** for marketing outside of the sport, if they really wanted the sport to grow. Offer better incentives to those that would be partaking in the sport, advertise, get good publicity out there, do stuff for those that make the sport look good ultimately; make the sport better. Don't just simply talk about it. This is fundamentally the same as politics, and we know how ****ed that whole situation is.
