Stallions lose another owner

[cardsrule22]

I heard at the game last night that Dlow Brown and one other owner named Mark have decided they are done with the Stallions. They walked away from the team and now they are down to just one owner. Coach told me last night that it was the owner with the least amount of ownership and now he is left holding the bag. I asked if he was at the game and he said no because he was back in Ohio working three jobs so that the team would have enough money to finish the season.

Coach also said that the team will return to Springfield next season. He said that the last owner left said he wanted local ownership involved with him.

I also heard that there are alredy three lawsuits filed against Getys. But Getys was going to file bankruptcy so nobody would end up getting anything anyways. The more I hear about this guy the more I hate him for what he did to our town.

This was the last home game of the season and all that is left our two games on the road.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you only get to declare bankruptcy once. In addition to that, your credit rating is shot and you basically have to pay cash for major purchases.

Anyone thinking of owning a sports team and thinking bankruptcy is your wildcard if things don't work out is sorely mistaken.

Bankruptcy doesn't really shield one from court-ordered payments, either.

But it's hard to assume he'll ever actually pay anyone anything.

[exit322]

Yeah, the Stallions have had this issue before; same set of players that played as Springfield in Steubenville before they went to NE.

Coach said last night that the "orginal" Stallions are playing the last two road games. They only used the one fill in team one time right after the Getys thing happened. I emailed the one owner that is left and asked him some question. I have not heard back from him yet. Probably because its Sunday.

New England owner/head coach Roy Lucas Jr. sent the Surge medical staff out to help the player, and they took him into the Surge locker room and put a soft cast on his leg and gave him a pair of crutches. When I saw this I decided that I was not going to attend any more CIFL games.

You and I both.

That's probably the only way to get current and future leagues to operate right - refusing to go to any games regardless of the teams involved until the entire league has suitable financing.

Why stop there?

I think you need to lead a boycott of indoor football message boards too!

If your goal is to report on the foibles of indoor football for its own sake on www.eieiofootball.com, that would put you out of business if the major foulups came to an end.

I can see why you would say that.

[ChampionOfSteel]

Major foulups come to an end? I don't think there is any danger of that happening any time soon.:-)

Nevertheless the agenda is there to strike down anyone speaking out against foundational chaos.

OSC needs quantity of minor leagues rather than quality of leagues....

eieiofootball.com desires indoor action at any cost even if teams fold during the season....

You're off your rocker. We cover over 60 leagues. Losing a few wouldn't hurt us in the least, and league stability is something we all hope to see improve. Your throw the baby out with the bathwater mentality is lacking in sense and most here see it.

Unfortunately, you become part of the problem because you refuse to recognize the different degrees of league difficulties. You got in a war of words with some CIFL guys, and now you harp incessantly on them everytime anything bad happens. Your only solution is to pull the plug on the whole venture. I guess that's what you call thinking outside the box.

Again, ridiculous.

There should not have been any activity to have a baby in the first place, so the baby would not have been thrown out with the bath water.

Let's don't praise the CIFL guys even with their well-meaning corrections and efforts to make things better after the fact when they screwed up in the foundational department. That's like having an elaborate baby shower (not the baby's fault) for a mother and temporary father doing the nasty thing out of wedlock.

I think you get the point.

[preeths]

I think we all get the point whenever we read any of your drivel. Your vendetta against the CIFL has nothing to do with the facts and everything to do with how you feel league personnel have treated you and your myriad suggestions. Sure, some facts support the contention that the CIFL has made mistakes, some of them big. Unfortunately, you have an easy time ignoring all facts that show that some teams and the league have done a good job at times, as well. You show a consistent inability or unwillingness to discern between "chaos" and problems.

What are you on? Have you read any of my posts regarding the states of the NIFL and ABA?

[Jamie]

CoS has to complain about the CIFL and how they have mistreated him, because he doesn't have Jerry Hewitt to complain about any more.

The "agenda" of EIEIO is to mock self-righteous prigs.

That's "prig" not "pig"

Look it up.
