My membership will not be renewed when it expires later this year. This organization is a clown show.

[@JohnM-cr2zc]

To the Board, For many years I have taken the position, to never, join any organization, and invest into a lifetime membership. My reason being , if the leadership’s direction, becomes in conflict with my beliefs and values, my dollars have empowered them long term. That being said, you will not receive any more dues from me.

As someone with a Master's Degree in Public Administration and Non-Profit management, this is so bad that it is comical. This is painful to watch. I really hope USPSA is not paying this attorney.

[@farastray1]

Not renewing my membership until they resign.

Having personally visited South Africa - I'd like to inform anyone who watches this video that the vast majority of South Africans are wonderfully pleasant people and NOT insufferable douchebags.

[@TheMakeReadyRanch]

I think there is enough douchebaggery in this one example for the whole country.

[@chilidem]

Imagine your legacy in the sport being destroying USPSA. Do these boomers have nothing better to do?

[@stevebaker1071]

There is a differene between membership time frames and a grace period versus the criteria needed to run for office.

My god the only thing clear from these meetings is that Donna has to go. My company employees many individuals who make over $100k per year and she would be fired in about 2 days for incompetence.

[@frank13621]

These people don't even know what they are talking about on most of these procedures. It's like a Jr high school mock trial with just as much drama. Bunch of man children that need a new hobby.

[@listonracingchannel7057]

I will not renew my membership

[@Mike-uc1eu]

Re: At 1:45. It is suggested that non-members, in fact industry representatives, who have a financial interest in the outcome of such proceedings, would be appointed to a disciplinary committee?

[@Thelingerer]

Thank you for posting this!

[@PeabodyGoPew]

This whole thing seems rather petty honestly , 5 days… why can’t we just grow the sport and get along ? How does removing him benefit leighton or Donna ?

[@lcash365]

This is pathetic. I'm embarrassed to find that this is what is behind the sport I spent so many years in.

[@JohnlH58]

Thanks for turning this organization into a clown show. how is Rodero still on the board with his RO gap?

[@fotofavoloso267]

I am very disappointed in what I witnessed here. I joined Uspsa in 92…..and for the first time I too am contemplating not renewing my membership.

[@ratkins3332]

Dumpster fire…

Man I can't wait for episode 2 of this new season of Shitshow USPSA! I'm guessing Ben will be booted next, I commend his idea that he wants to play by the rules and fight from the inside but hopefully this meeting helps him realize that doesn't work.

[@SigMan66]

Ben Berry and Frank Rizzi are the only two people on this really bad "Hollywood Squares" that have any integrity....plain and simple.

[@Aspis_1-0]

15:28 onward is the PERFECT example of how dyafunctional this board is. Frank provided ample reasonable facts and reasoning only to have Leighton follow behind him and go "no, I don't think so because I see it as a no-go personally." Leighton and Donna have sticks so far up their arses they could be shitsicles.

[@BlackDogOriginal]

Lol
