Godfather Media Makes AWBL Appointments

It seems to me, all they do is find a way to bash, but have said very little about the Pecos League, Freedom League, Can-Am League, etc. the Can-Am League had a crooked cop as one team owner in Newark who laundered drug money. Or hey why not talk about the GBL which turned into the NAL which the guys on top Kaval and Outcalt both disappeared again, and have turned their backs on owners once again, and hopefully for the last time.
News is news, if it’s late for YOU then it’s late but not everyone has seen it. And I didn’t see anyone bash anything…yet.
There is nothing to say about the Pecos League, can they even be considered a real pro league? Isn’t that the league with the $50 a month stipend?
Freedom League posts no news and no one covers them so what is there to say?
Can-Am news was not recent.
Why talk about the GBL when they’re dead? Well the GBL is just the AWBL anyway…
It’s reporting of what’s going on in the news of baseball. Stop taking everything so personal.
No the GBL and the men who ran it into the ground are the NAL and they ran again. I just find it silly that this site refused to post actual news about the league but posts every failed attempt without any knowledge of anything that goes on behind the scenes. The NAL’s best franchises all left before the AWBL was started as a result of poor management, lies, and a group Kaval and Outcalt that continuously screw people.
Ron:
Post news about what league? If you are talking about the AWBL, we have posted every press release we have seen, and most of the time without comment. Do your homework. Second, there have been numerous postings on this site challenging many leagues. I don’t have the time to comb through 5,000 posting over the last three years of our existence, but below my post is a small sample. Prior to this site, I made thousands of comments on baseball message forums (going back to the late 1990s) about the business, including sharing my opinions about the Golden Baseball League going back to its inception. I was skeptical at the time and challenged the league when they said they were profitable per their business plan after their third season.
Now, are we somehow picking on the AWBL by pointing out facts and possible “red flags?” Hardly. We’re using a pillow pen right now until we see how things evolve.
Michael:
Surprisingly, a lot of people in the business care, particularly when we have had a killing fields of indy pro leagues and teams over the past two decades where communities, investors, fans, sponsors, and vendors have been screwed. We’ll continue to play our self-annointed role as watchdog as needed. The AWBL has not been indicted. It’s merely on the watch list, along with a few other new or struggling leagues. Stay tuned.

This is a little late, so do you have something against the AWBL? And who cares.
