Department of Angry Emails
A certain prominent USATT member (former top player) wrote a long email to a huge number of people last night. Someday I'll learn to stay out of these things, but I just couldn't help but respond to some of the false information in the email. (None of it was about me.)
The writer was angry about the "cancelled" USATT election for CEO four years ago. (There never was an election for CEO; the USATT Board hires and fires the CEO.)
The writer was angry that only one member of the nine members of the USATT Board is elected from the membership, not including the two player reps. (There are actually three.)
The writer was angry about skipped issues of the magazine in recent years. (There weren't any skipped issues.)
There were also some unsubstantiated claims, such as saying the USATT web page was worth $75,000 without giving a source or rationale.
