I don't get this, people sign up for a league, pay their dues, fully knowing they're getting into a league with a commish who has their own team. The people in the league all start pointing fingers at their commish saying their trades are shady, the league isn't run right, ect. I just don't get it. If you're in this kind of league why do you stay in it? Are people just cronic complainers and feel they just need something to complain about?
Our league did away with a commish simply because of these problems. I used to sit back and field phone calls from other owners who would complain to me about the commish and his shady doings. At the next league meeting we decided to get rid of the job and just have a person in charge of the website and handling of money.
As far as shady trading, we have a trade commish made up of five owners. They have to be vigilant because every trade must either be approved or denied within 2 hours or the trade goes through by default. Owners have teams and line ups to get in so this is why the need for speed on approval or denial.
Of course we run into the occassional two trade commish involved in a trade, then it goes to two other owners to decide. Trade commish is not allowed to discuss the deal with any other owner its a simple yes or no. Now in it's fourth year, we've never had a trade vetoed.
Complaining about a commish is childish. I always felt bad for the guy who had the job in our league because they were always viewed as some kind of authority, when in reality they were one of our friends trying to do the right thing. Its really a thankless job, just like being an official in a basketball game or any other sport. I think people just need to suck it up and stop complaining or get out of the league or better yet, find a solution to the problem instead of creating more by whining.
