I'm back

My purpose of blogging is to bring Governing Council to those who can't attend. I write with my sense of humor and people can take it or leave it. All opinions posted here are mine and mine alone. I am not speaking on behalf of anyone else.

I'm sure TPTB are thrilled to see that I'm blogging at Governing Council again. They just love my sense of humor.

While Governing Council is an important meeting for the future of our sport, it is still just a sport. It will not bring about world peace and it will not find a cure for cancer.

That being said, this is going to be a very interesting meeting and I'll do my best to give everyone a flavor of what is happening. Most of the people attending care deeply about the sport and about our athletes, and they want to do the right thing. Most, but not all. The trick for the delegates is going to be figuring out which side is the right side to be on.

The politics of the sport will be on display during this meeting and I hope to play the role of Jon Stewart.

Hang on.
