SOOOO Glad our comments on the blog do not impact the decision making to ban players because Jonathan Korb, Director of Customer Service you really lived up to your name. You have certainly directed your customers to seek services elsewhere. And since WAKA has up held freedom of speech, i can say your customer service is shit. so that would make you the director of shit. and what is the gateway of shit? the sphincter or asshole which when you do your job apparently makes a sound, "mloop." >enter Team America where we are dicks and they are…>
- see kids, that is satire and good clean fun. but of course no one is reading this but my bayshore cohorts but i will go on because i feel it will be better for the division...um, blog.
now all these moves have been made to "better" the division. Funny, as one of the longest registered customers, i was NEVER asked if banning these players is better for MY division.
Let’s see.
banning a national tournament certified ref and field sheriff - NO. I find that to be a great asset. I recall over several seasons seeking out Nate to clarify rules
banning two ladies who helped organize the best party in my 12 seasons that raised the most money for our local charity - NO. Again a great asset to the league and more so to the charity who saw their county budget cut and greatly appreciated the additional revenue created.
banning the captain of one of my rival opponents who keeps the team legacy alive of a person we lost two years ago. - NO. He too is an asset as he bridges the bayshore community from seeing each other 20, oh yeah NOW 16 times a year into an everyday blog or weekly gathering.
banning my co captain of 12 seasons - NO. If i have to explain the value of 6 year customer who has advertised and recruited for you for free, well you are either stupid or dont give a shit. my guess is both.
I think if you do your job correctly, you will find that my opinion is mirrored by the league and NOT by your decision. This is completely a personal attack on our league, our friends and the business WE grew for you here in Tampa.


A few years ago, WAKA censored a picture that was posted on our division webpage. That spawned this blog. A communal tool that is head and shoulders above ANYTHING you do or other divisions do. It’s to a point you cant manage so you banned players and are possibly facing a mass exodus. Do you really want to challenge the same people who kicked your ass with a website to go play and grow another league in OUR backyard?!?!?!?
The truth of the matter is YOU DON’T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT US and so,
My team, MY ENTIRE TEAM, ToeJammers aka Soul Glo will not be registering for another WAKA season. And as such, all recruiting and advertising I and we have done for WAKA is over.

You have a marketing person. I saw an email from her posted. Perhaps she should right the ship and explain how it is nearly 10 times as expensive to produce a new customer than it is to retain a customer and that a negative customer on average will cost a business anywhere from 3 to 6 potentials customers.

I gotta tell you, I find it completely hilarious that you banned these people. You literally had people, while complaining STILL using your product. You were winning. You couldnt give the league two more weeks? Or maybe just keep the 8 weeks and make one night a month per team a double header. So many options and you ban players. Fired the customer. How moronic.

Wow, maybe I will take back the satirical tone earlier, you might be assholes after all.
