*The awards committee is on crack part 2

[Duilio05]

Working harder is not working smarter.  I don't have time to get a league job, nor do I want one.  I have free will to make that choice, as you do to make the choice you made to take a league job.  You are getting rewarded for taking extra time to make the league run.  I am not getting rewarded for not doing anything extra except being active.  That's the main difference.

I never said you guys don't care about the league.  In my interactions albeit limited with, again, limited HO people, the reaction I have gotten back is "we'll take it under advisement, but we like the way things are because it works for us"  Yet.. you have people saying that it doesn't really work.. it's extremely counter productive. 

"The GM vote has always been a write in"  Okay? and what's preventing you from changing that based on the results that JUST occurred?  Just because something has always been done a certain way does not mean it has to continue being done that way. 

You realize anyone watching the stream for the first time, did not equate the tiny writing that said "soandso also got votes" to them being nominated right?  We saw 3 names that stood out, any reasonable person would think those werre the nominees and only the nominees.  It's like that for EVERY award show ever. 

Just because I know my own free time and I know I can not take on a league job due to my otherwise busy lifestyle does not make my opinions any less valid, and saying things like if I want to help the league get a league job is a cop out, and frankly you know better than that

What I am hearing here is that the league should change anything and everything you don't like regardless if you are the only one with those opinions. Fucking selfish.

Yeah you are allowed to voice your opinion, but need to give structure to it. What is you data to back up that having an open write in for GMotY is bad? You are complaning about one single award in the 20 season history of the league. Have you taken the time to undertand how the awards process was done this year, so you can offer ideas of how to make it better?

But again GMotY awards are kinda subjective, so why are you so angry that a voter had an opinion that Portland GMs should be recognized for over coming the difficulties and struggles they had this season?

In the end it was one nomination vote that didn't effect who actually won the award. Why is that such a big deal that the process needs to be revamped. No matter how you want to decide awards are determined, there will always be something that isn't perfect.
