\nColumn 601
\nWAKE UP!\u00a0 SEE THE LIGHT!<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you are a league that is still sending dues to the ADO or a player who attends tournaments “sanctioned” by the ADO (and hence adding funds to their coffers via a surcharge on your entry fees) and you are not aware of the following you should be.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The ADO does not deserve league and player support<\/span>!<\/p>\n

Why can YOU<\/strong> not understand?<\/p>\n

How can YOU<\/strong> make apologies for and continue to throw money at an organization that will not accept any<\/em> ethical or moral responsibility to share with the leages and players WHO FUND THEM – to share with YOU<\/strong> – how funds are spent?<\/p>\n

It’s mindboggling.<\/p>\n

YOU<\/strong> are all that is standing in the way of the long overdue dissolution of this embarrassment to darts in America.<\/p>\n

Many leagues have (long ago) seen the light.\u00a0 Those below haven’t.\u00a0 The question is WHY?<\/strong><\/p>\n

WAKE UP! \u00a0SEE THE LIGHT!<\/strong><\/p>\n

From the Field,<\/p>\n

Dartoid<\/p>\n
