Impeach the Motherf**ker
On the eve of the much anticipated grand final between the Dragons FFC and Mount Buller Demons, scandal has engulfed Sweet FA Administrator, Ant Bear. Amidst a flurry of unwanted attention and calls for greater transparency and accountability, Ant Bear has been forced to face questions relating to his selection in season 28's ALL-SFA side.
As first revealed by Noobz0r, Ant Bear has been accused of selecting himself in the league's team-of-the-season.
Noobz0r outlined a multitude of players more befitting of team representation. In fact, more than 10 posters were outlined as having a greater overall performance under the guidelines for ALL-SFA selection. Not even a majority of captains voted for Ant Bear to be included in the team. Noobz0r also eluded to the motives of Ant Bear in wanting yet another selection in the All-SFA team.
But it was the reasoning that Ant Bear himself gave for his inclusion that is at the heart of the issue.
"Ant Bear - started the season at full-forward, before the love of the sim forced a move into the midfield. Although down on match thread posting numbers from previous seasons, the Committee recognised the effort in different area (sic) and the commitment to the league, for my 8th guernsey."
A major gripe circulating among Sweet FA constituents is the contention that league administrator contributions should contribute to ALL-SFA selection. It is widely accepted that this is not the case.
Ant Bear has been criticised on a number of issues in his maiden season as league master. While he was put in difficult positions by the actions of lazy captains, and subsequently made more difficult by the rather indifferent approach to Sweet FA law, Ant Bear has revealed himself to be a weak leader and one whose lack of transparency has been of major concern.
As stated by BRAB:
Just hours after the ALL-SFA side was publicly revealed, Elton Johns Wig got in on the act. He was similarly critical of Ant Bear and sought tighter restrictions on the ALL-SFA selection process. Although Elton Johns Wig was more diplomatic.
A notion that the previous administrator, Kennedy Parker, alluded to.
Even former administrator, boncer34, got in on the action.
It is noted that five captains voted for Ant Bear to be included in the side, but it is yet to be revealed what inducements, if any, Ant Bear offered these five captains. Or whether the captains were high or drunk.
League nobody, DemonJim, has has called for Ant Bear to be impeached.
Under the Sweet FA constitution, an administrator may be removed if two-thirds of league captains lose faith in his or her ability to lead. Contrary to popular belief, Ant Bear's attempts to tighten his grip on the leadership by changing the number of captains needed from two-thirds to three-quarters has never been ratified; it is therefore redundant. But a hidden and little known fact: before a captains' vote, 50% + 1 players must vote to impeach the administrator, before a final vote can be held by the Committee Room.
One article of impeachment has been drawn up by Noobz0r and seconded by Elton John's Wig. It has been submitted to members of the committee and it is now incumbent on all Sweet FA players to vote as to whether Ant Bear has violated his oath of office. Many are disappointed that further articles have not been drawn up which would include the aforementioned attempts to tighten his grip on power, his lack of transparency throughout the season, and failure to apply penalties uniformly.
Players are advised to vote yes or no in the above poll, and if the vote satisfies the impeachment threshold, a formal vote to remove Ant Bear will take place in the Committee Room at a date before Christmas.
ARTICLE OF IMPEACHMENT
1. Abuse of power: subverting the ALL-SFA process for personal gain.
It is an unprecedented time in the Sweet FA. When mateship and piss-taking tend to take precedence over equity and justice; we have reached a fork in the road. This is a period where statespersons are needed to uphold the the very notions that underpin this esteemed competition. What will your legacy be?
