So what’s the next move for B.E.B.L.? The team owners today said that they will not participate in any of the home games for the Benny’s Belize Hurricanes. Some say that this could destroy the league.

“It’s a dangerous precedence, it is a slippery slope, if we allow this to go through. Yes, it may appear right now that we are trampling in our own homes and breaking up everything in the house, but if we allow that to go through, we would most certainly be basically demolishing our foundation. And then, you ask the question of where we would go next – the league would virtually disintegrate because it would be chaos.”

Late this evening, the Office of the Commissioner for B.E.B.L. issued a release demanding that members of the league cease and desist from making any defamatory statements against that office. The release continues to say that sanctions will be issued to all relevant parties who have brought the league into disrepute and have failed to follow the bylaws that prohibit the publishing or posting of negative comments regarding the Office of the Commissioner and the league.
