Default Re: We win (AP Scandal v. 27)

I have always found the PPA to be useless. Good in theory, horrible in practice.

Their silence during this huge monthlong-plus scandal is proof of this.

Lord only knows what all those membership fees were spent on.

PPA's typical response to stuff like this "What would you have us do?" How about get involved guys? Show some leadership, or at least participation. I realize your primarily a lobbying organization at this point. But you guys really missed a golden opportunity here.

Could you imagine if the PPA had helped in some key facet of this whole process? They'd probably get 10x their yearly contribution in a few weeks. I know I would have donated until it hurt a little. Visionaries they are.

This scandal has pretty well shown who's looking out for the online poker player - no organization or poker pro in any kind of public position. At least we know where we stand.
