| So Redman (I think i remember that name correctly?) makes $45K a year to keep the fields in shape? No wonder he's so committed. My son is grown but he's been around for years. |

j Look, Redman also services Csp City fields because his pricing is much better than commercial landscapers and he is always available. I think he is honorable with respect to his lawn business, however, why he remained on the NWLL board in any capacity is weird. His kids stopped playing I think 9 years ago, so there was no more direct involvement. |

| Gotta love how Ricky plays the race card. Where was the race card when he was filing out the "inaccurate" waiver for this kid? Nowhere, because it's BS. If real, NWLL would have submitted a charter waiver. BTW the dad asked back into CHLL in 2021 and the kid excelled on the CHLL 12u team. What's the racism Ricky? What happened? Are you hiding it with your financials and falsified waivers???? |

Can we PLEASE at least be accurate in our slander? Per the trembling, good Reverend, Mike Klosch(!) is “an agent of chaos,” not merely a creator of it. Read the report for conclusions. 16 major reforms identified by a Committee empaneled to downplay and minimize offensive acts of the Board. SIXTEEN. Someone ought to nail these Sixteen Theses to the NWLL Boardroom door. Time for reform! |

Yep. And confidence men look for unsuspecting dupes, usually preying upon the vulnerable or the greedy. We parents are way smarter than that. Way too altruistic, too. Self interest does not exist in the minds of the NWLL board members. Shoot. Correction: “…does not exist in the hearts…”. Our hearts are pure, we just make occasional mistakes. Read the report! |

This is truth, it is all about the money. How much are they seeking, to pay for another Lexus in a different color than the other 2 they drive? |

Email from the "Transparency" people:
here is an update re finances and the election: 1. The special committee identified $10,000 in 2023 summer coaching stipends to be used for expenses. The board, including the Treasurer (Katherine Rossi), has repeatedly refused to tell us whether any expenses were actually incurred. If re-elected as Treasurer, Rossi says she’s willing to reconsider these payments… 2. If no expenses were actually incurred, those receiving payments should have received a 1099 to report taxable income. The board won’t say if 1099s were issued for any payments. 3. The absentee ballot includes all candidates from the Nominating Committee’s Slate and Fresh Start Board Slate. The board has made no commitment to allow anyone but Nominating Committee members to be on the in-person ballot. 4. Molly Quigley, who told the Washington Post that there was no evidence of financial irregularities, withdrew her candidacy from the 2024 board. 5. The Nominating Committee Slate now has 10 candidates. The Fresh Start Slate has 7 candidates. Please vote. 6. Other leagues have responded to Ricky Davenport’s community message and said, among other things, that it hopes “the future board eliminates the errors that were ‘caused by a lack of oversight and formal protocol that has been perpetuated by the culture of informality within the league.’” As for Davenport’s complaint that other leagues “injected” themselves into NWLL issues, please know that the Special Committee asked for their input and interviewed them for hours. Only after leaving much of that evidence on the cutting room floor did those leagues follow-up. 7. Members and non-members have opined that it’s hard to have a fair election when the Nominating Committee (a) is comprised of board members who presided over a culture of informality, no formal protocol or oversight... and (b) selected a board of existing board members and loyalists, including the very people who created, perpetuated, and presided over a culture that resulted in inaccurate waivers and outsized payments to board members, etc. 8. On December 9, Neha Misra, who is running for re-election, wrote an email to 44+ people saying that “Everything that has been happening this past year is tied up with racism and excessive class privilege.” |

LOL. Well baseball is actually the most Republican of the major sports. So if you hope your kid continues to play after little league you’re going to have to get used to mixing with a very un-AU Park crowd. |

From a letter sent by Cap City's vice president Josh Novikof to the NWLL board and others in response to NWLL President Ricky Davenport's message (posted on p. 53, 12/07/2023 22:40 on DCUM):
"The NWLL president laments the input and feedback of neighboring leagues. But this has been invited (albeit largely disregarded) by NWLL and the special committee. Continued silence would be convenient for NWLL. It would further enable the league and its leadership to hold cover behind misleading statements and self-serving findings, make excuses, and certainly never apologize or take responsibility. The consequences are both internal and external to NWLL. This is why it is important we share our voices in the best interests of our collective baseball community. "Mr. Davenport tries to use false claims and invalid comparisons to distract from his and NWLL’s behavior. As noted by the CCLL president, saying that Cap City has been recently sanctioned for violations is completely untrue. To the extent the claim may refer to issues in past decades–generations ago that no one on our board or league is even aware of–is a smokescreen. The perpetuated race-based allegations for something divorced from 2022 invalid eligibility waivers (whatever happened predated Player 3 returning to NWLL in 2021) seem a new low. "There is a lot to be proud of for leagues, leaders, and volunteers all around DC little leagues including NWLL. Ricky has given a lot and loves youth baseball. That makes this situation difficult for many, including Cap City. But there is also everything else. We object to disregard for doing things the right way; faults and harms being continually explained away as inadvertent; ascribing any transgression to a reliance on informality and institutional knowledge. It is institutional knowledge about how to game and profit from the system. And the errors–from whatever combination of intentional, accidental, and in between–create internal and external harm that has been repetitive and obvious." |

| There was a fair audit. Parents are BEING GOVEN LIES BY a MAGA republican ligitgator who makes over two million dollars a year and lives in a six million dollar house, travels on very expensive trips and is litigating to make money, he threatens to sue. The kids should come first. This is a fight between true love of the game and a litigator using all of us |
