Some see it no doubt. But they're up against the good ol' boys club. I've seen it before. In the 70's-80's there were some significant "squables". The venue then were the magazines and editorials. RCM and Scale RC both took hits for being on the sides they chose. And today many of the same issues continue but far worse than ever before. Added with the new threats, i.e. RC that doesn't need a club field, and the AMA can ill afford to miss many more warnings.
