Announcement
THE FOUR.....TUFA, CRAFL, MPFL, TUFL LEAGUES REMAINING WHICH IN ALL LIKELY HOOD WILL PROVIDE THE BEST TEXAS STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME EVER - 4 LEAGUES 4 TEAMS IS EASY TO WORK WITH, THE CHALLENGE IS BEFORE YOU TEXAS.....SOMEONE WORK IT UP....MEANTIME.....
NO WE HAVEN'T GONE AWAY! WE WILL CONTINUE TO COVER MINOR LEAGUE FOOTBALL IN TEXAS AS BEST WE CAN! WE ARE NO DIFFERENT THAN MOST OUT THERE AND NEED A BREAK ONCE IN AWHILE! SO MANY THINGS GOING ON AND SO MANY THINGS NOT.
DTFA ENDS SEASON, FOLDS FOR THE SEASON, BUT MAY CONTINUE OPERATIONS AS THE DTFA. EVERYONE RECALLS THE MPFL TOOK A YEAR OFF A FEW YEARS BACK…AND RETURNED...ITS A WAIT AND SEE !!! CHECK IT OUT!
THE DTFA WORKED WITH TEAMS IN AN EFFORT TO KEEP THE LEAGUE GOING AND WERE ABLE TO ONLY COMPLETE THE FIRST WEEK OF PLAY. THE FIRST NIGHT OF PLAY WAS NOT OVER YET WHEN TEAMS STARTED TALKING ABOUT LEAVING THE LEAGUE. ONE TEAM LODGED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND MADE IT CLEAR THEY WERE READY TO LEAVE. TELLING IT LIKE IT IS!
SO LSMLFNEWS IS GOING TO TELL IT LIKE IS. FROM AN INSIDE POINT OF VIEW. 3 OF THE TEAMS STOOD FIRM AND LOYAL TO THE LAST SECOND AND TEXAS MAY NOT WANT TO KNOW BUT HERE IT IS....
3 TEAMS ORIGINALLY MADE A PACT THAT IF 1 TEAM ENTERED THE OTHER 2 WOULD ALSO JOIN. IN THAT PACT THE 3 TEAMS MADE, THEY ALSO DECIDED IF 1 LEFT THE OTHER 2 WOULD LEAVE AS WELL.
NOW THIS IS ONE OF THOSE STORIES THAT THE NAMES OF THOSE TEAMS ARE NOT BEING MENTIONED IN ORDER TO PROTECT SOME OF THEIR PRIVACY. BY NOW TEXAS KNOWS WHICH TEAMS THEY ARE. SO THERE IS NO NEED. BOTTOM LINE IS THE DTFA CEASED OPERATIONS AS A LEAGUE BUT NOT AS A BUSINESS. THE DTFA WILL POSSIBLY DO SOME PROMOTIONAL TYPE EVENTS IN THE FUTURE...STAY TUNED FOR THAT STORY!
SO THE DTFA FOLDS AND 3 OF THE REMAINING TEAMS ENTERED THE CRAFL. OH BY THE WAY THERE IS OR WILL NOT BE ANY TYPE OF PACT BETWEEN THESE 3 TEAMS, BUT LSMLFNEWS WANTS TO ADDRESS THE PACT ISSUE, BECAUSE IT’S WHAT TEAMS DO. THEY FORM THEIR GROUPS THEY FORM THEIR PACTS AND MAKE AN EFFORT TO INFLUENCE DECISIONS BEING MADE. YES ...HAPPENS ALL THE TIME....PACKAGES....STAY TUNED...
AT THIS POINT 2 OF THE EXISTING AND REMAINING LEAGUES THE TUFA AND THE CRAFL WERE GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO OPEN THEIR DOORS FOR THE TEAMS TO ENTER AND OF COURSE THE ORIGINAL TEAMS BEGIN TO COMPLAIN SAYING IT CAUSES PROBLEMS BUT IT GOT DONE. ONE OF THE TEAMS FROM THE DTFA WENT TO THE TUFA, THE REMAINING 3 WENT TO THE CRAFL.
NEVER MIND THAT ONE OF THE OTHER TEAMS ALSO SAID THEY WERE GOING TO THE CRAFL BUT INSTEAD DARTED TO THE TUFA LEAVING 3 TEAMS, WHICH COMMUNICATED WITH THE CRAFL AND WERE ABLE TO JOIN. THE TEAM WAS SUPPOSEDLY FORCED BY THE PLAYERS fORMING A PACT) STATING THEY WOULD NOT PARTICIPATE IN A LEAGUE WITH ONLY 4 TEAMS EVENTHOUGH THERE TALKS GOING ON WITH ANOTHER LEAGUE ABOUT CROSS LEAGUE GAMES AND 2 TEAMS JOINING THE DTFA. THAT MUST NOT HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATED TO THE PLAYERS AND IF SO THEY WERE JUST TIRED AND READY TO GET LOCKED IN TO A LEAGUE. SO THE PLAYERS BASICALLY (FORMED A PACT) AND PLACED OWNERSHIP IN A DIFFICULT SITUATION AT BEST. OWNERSHIP MADE THE DECISION TO LEAVE. JUMPING FROM ONE LEAGUE, TO ANOTHER AND TO ANOTHER ALL IN ONE NIGHT. THAT LEFT 3 TEAMS AND THAT WAS NOT GOING TO WORK. KEEP IN MIND…ALL THIS HAPPENED EVENTHOUGH THE DTFA WAS WORKING ON CROSS LEAGUE GAMES.
THE PACT THAT WAS FORMED WAS BROKEN WHEN SOMEONE FROM THE GROUP STEPPED UP AND TOOK THE LEAD AND MADE THE FIRST MOVE TO LEAVE AND WAS NOT BACKING OFF. THE SECOND TEAM LEFT AS WELL. THE THIRD WAS ABOUT TO BE LEFT IN THE COLD AND HAD TO TAKE ACTION RIGHT AWAY.
INCIDENTALLY OF THE TEAMS THAT LEFT 2 OF THEM WERE DEFEATED SOUNDLY ON FEBRUARY 10, 2018. THE OTHER TEAM WON.
SO IN ADDRESSING PACTS, THEY ARE LIKE THE PROMISES MADE TO THE AMERICAN NATIVE INDIAN, AGREEMENTS, TREATIES, PACTS AND ALL JUST TO BE BROKEN. IF YOU ENTER A PACT KNOW WHERE YOUR LOYALTY IS GOING TO BE. LSMLFNEWS JUST WANTS TO REMIND TEXAS FOOTBALL FANS, ESPECIALLY IN MINOR LEAGUE/SEMI PRO FOOTBALL TO KEEP GOD FIRST, FAMILY SECOND, JOB THIRD, AND THEN FOOTBALL.
SO TO THOSE FORMING PACTS, IT CAN BE A POWERFUL THING, BUT IT CAN ALSO SERVE TO GENERATE MORE DAMAGE THAN GOOD IN MOST CASES. IT’S BEEN PROVEN THROUGH OUT HISTORY IN REAL LIFE. IN MOST CASES IT’S ABOUT NUMBERS, LOGISTICS AND IMPROVEMENT AT THE SAME TIME.
THE MOVE BY THE TEAMS TO CONTINUE PLAY HAS HOPEFULLY STRENGTHENED EACH OF THE LEAGUES, THE CRAFL AND THE TUFA.
