I agree with posts claiming that this seems like an excessive punishment for, admittedly, an emotional response. Banning a 2 time-defending Masters champion for arguing a seemingly very valid point. How can you take away ball 6 six on a 39' pass with zero evidence? I would have been beside myself as well. We are talking about the man's career. It is completely suspect that it is a MasterCraft athlete who gets banned from a Nautique event. I don't understand how this sport, which is trying to revive itself, which Freddie is working his ass off to do, can't have a better review process. How can you have a prestigious tournament like the Masters be run by a boat company, where there is the opportunity to grind one's ax is totally possible? Does Freddie's reaction, rise to the SAFESPORT level of scrutiny, I guess I don't know. There was talk of banning Freddie from all Nautique events for this, are you kidding me? There has got to be a way for reasonable review by all parties can calmly look at the evidence. Certainly, sponsors of tournaments cannot be allowed to dole out bans or punishments, that seems absurd.
