An Update on the ASA dispute and CMSA from Mr Steen, prompts a reader response

On the 30th Mr Steen of the CMSA sent "An Update on the Alberta Soccer Association Dispute and Calgary Minor Soccer"  to all CMSA members, board and staff. The update is intended to give readers some background information about the ASA dispute. Mr Steen stresses that the update "By its nature as a summary, this update is light on details, but is an accurate retelling of the events that have occurred.

Mr Steen's update made it way to members of the Alberta soccer community beyond the CMSA. I was forwarded an annotated copy of the update along with a request that I post the response on the website.

His email is a good example why folks need to read and get informed on the issues and not just rely upon what is said. There is a serious polarization of views being perpetuated here. I am not going to advocate for my view but I do think it is important for all ASA people to be informed, know the issues and formulate their own opinions.

The EDSA held their AGM on the 25th Sept. and gave a presentation on the ASA dispute, a copy of which can be seen here.
