Referendum on Charlie (CHI)

[Cincinnati Bengals (Chris)]

We’ve had a number of members express their dissatisfaction at the decision to allow teams to re-sign players after the deadline, and some of those members are demanding a referendum on the league membership of those teams who missed the deadline. In the case of Eric (MIA), we made a one-time exception, due to the fact that he was in his first week, and didn't understand that we operated on ET instead of PT. By that standard, he would have made his signings on time. That has since been clarified for him, and we do not expect repeat issues. While we wanted to extend a courtesy to the others for consistency, this is something we have had to do far too many times, specifically to CHI. Therefore, per the request of those teams, we will allow a referendum on their league membership to be decided by the league at large, herein.

Strike 81. Time to go.

[Cincinnati Bengals (Chris)]

As we presently have only 30 members, one of whom is Charlie, who I anticipate could not, or would not vote for himself, and as Jordan and I abstained on this matter, this measure has passed with a majority. I will be informing Charlie that per this poll, the league has come to a decision and that he will be replaced, and to thank him for his time in the league.
