We will not be silenced. PPA changes deflection testing standards MID-EVENT—you honestly can’t make this stuff up. Learn why Nationals moved to Dallas in the first place, and…where is it going next year? And who is to blame at USAP for the debacle otherwise known as Nationals?? Learn about how the PPA continuously outmaneuvers everyone around them, including USAP. Can we, the pro players, finally unite and use collective bargaining to drain the swamp? Jill spent over 40 hours working closely with Tom Dundon at the end of 2022 to bring PPA & MLP together during the first merger—at the time she looked up to him and respected him as a businessman. Listen to her explain how her former idol has fallen and how he is as culpable if not more for Connor Pardoe and the PPA’s repeated unethical actions. Plus, find out what's become of MLP San Clemente and the strange process for selecting the three Challenger teams. Does the entire industry need a swamp drain? You tell us.
