Please note that this act was sponsored by Republican John Thune, passed by a Republican Congress and signed into law by Donald J. Trump. So much for thinking there is a dime's difference between the two heads of the swamp creature. It isn't us against one another; it's us against the creature. When I say "us" I mean me, my kinfolk and a few good friends...everybody else is suspect :)The Act's jurisdiction extends to "national" governing bodies. Unless we wish to split into separate regional governing bodies, USWSA and/or AWSA are subject to the Act. My advice would be to stop voting for virtue signaling do gooders who think government is the f***ing answer to all problems real and imagined. Apparently, no amount of government is too much for good ol 'Mericans.Well, Uh.....back to skiing. We could simply allow the Regions to move forward as separate entities. Can call "Nationals" "Sumpin Else" and thereby avoid being subject to Safe Sport. No national body; no jurisdiction. Cool with me. My guess is that most will suck it up and ski on. Maybe me too...ain't sure yet.My eastern European friend tells me that the reason that socialism will win in America is that Americans don't know how to suffer. "Will give up their freedom for a loaf of bread..." I talk a good game, but would whimper if I had to give up my heated seats...maybe I could toughen up a bit...you know for freedom man...I am working on it; no shit.One thing that does seem pretty clear is that USWSA didn't unleash this crap on us, "we" voted for it. Well, I'm not sure what it's going to be like in banned land, but I have my helmet on...and I make up for any lack of fighting skills with enthusiasm...
