Man,sometimes this league stuff sucks. I just don't understand some people. Here's the deal....
I've been bowling in this league for ages. 4 man teams,100% of 220 handicap. I know every single guy by name. I know all thier kids and wives. I've held every league office there is in this league at one time or another. I'm last season's VP.
We had a team not renew this season due to the economy. We all understand that. A team asked two weeks ago if they could join our league. They had four guys and were ready to go. They understood that they were behind and wouldn't place all that well at the end of the season. They just wanted to bowl and have a place reserved in the league for next season. Fair enough since it's a League Rule that spots go to the previous years teams first. They took the bye teams lane assignment thier first week out. I'm on the next pair over.And then the trouble started.....
They had to bowl against a team of guys who give "Redneck" every one of it's bad meanings. They make me ashamed to be from The South. Every one of them is "Way Overserved" by halfway through the night. Usually they just get a little loud if they strike and everyone ignores them. Somehow it occurs to these clowns to inquire just what the new guys do for a living. I know what they do and I thought,"Here we go". The new guys inform them that they all are partners in a local hair salon. Oh boy. The defecation hit the rotary oscillator right about then.
The snide remarks started and our heroes were told to cool it. Like they got the hint. Let's just say that,"Fag" and "Queer" were two of the nicer insults hurled. Yes,the new guys are gay,but so what??? The new guys didn't even let it get to them,they just kept on rolling and opening up a major can of whoop-ass. After the evenings festivities were over,we pulled the idiots to the side and told them that they were on thin ice. We may as well have been talking to ourselves.
Tonight the moron's walk in and start unpacking. The new guys are on the next pair over and not paying these guys any attention. My team is bowling against the new guys. I'm just waiting for what I know is going to happen. Sure enough,right after the first pitcher is poured and before practice starts,here come the insults. And worse than last week. Way worse. Even I blushed at some of them and you've got to get really graphic to do that to me. I've had enough. And I've come prepared. I found the League officers and handed them four pieces of paper. One for each idiot. As a team captain I wanted them tossed from the league for violation of Rule 17b. The league Prez started to make excuses for the clowns until I informed him that such language as I heard is a violation of Federal Law and that doing nothing could open the league to a lawsuit. And that if he did indeed do nothing,I would be back next week with another piece of paper calling for his removal as league Prez.
The idiots are tossed in a unanimous vote and now I've got half the league hating me and the other half telling me I did the right thing. On the bright side,I don't have to pay to get my hair done anymore.....
