Holllingsworth leaves AMA Pro Racing

Everyone is jumping ship. Hollingsworth seemed like a good guy to have leading the ship too. WTF is going on?

EDIT: I wonder if I could apply for his job? Who's ass do I have to kiss?

Not sure it's ass you need to kiss. You may have to buy a set of kneepads though.

AMA is such a messed up entity, that its gonna take more than his depature as well as the others who've left in recent months. As a whole the organization needs more than a new leader, a complete teardown and restructuring would be a good start.

What I'm saying is that he seemed like a good person in there. Wasn't he the dude that was on TWT a couple times? Seemed like a good advocate for the sport.

Re: What's going on in Pinkerington, OH?
I agree with you in that he did seem like a good guy. But he could probably only do what the board and others wanted him to do. He may have butted a few heads trying to do the "right" thing by changing their image or doing something against the will of the masses and that's why he was asked to leave, I dunno.

But that's why I stand by the comment of a complete restructuring of the organization. One person isn't going to change it.

Dayum, wonder if they're leaving voluntarily, or being "convinced" to resign?
