Does not compute.
The reply even states that the LAFAYETTE BASED CLUB can use any number of BREC parks.
Just not the ones that BRSA and its PAYING MEMBERS which number in the 1000s of adults, and god knows how many kids paid to build and continue to pay to maintain.
BRSA does many shitty, disorganized things, and I've had issues with the disciplinary council as well...
But I maintain my stance from before. Your ability to use the SOCCER fields should be directly proportional to what you pay in as an EBR tax paying entity.
I imagine that a LAFAYETTE club probably pays somewhere around 0% EBR taxes.
They can STFU and GTFO, in my opinion.

My understanding is some of the teams in Lafayette Futbol Club are from Baton Rouge--presumably those are the ones wanting to use the fields--and they just broke off from BRSA. Thus, you have EBR taxpayers on those teams. In addition, not all BRSA teams are based on Baton Rouge and are EBR taxpayers, yet they are permitted to use the fields if they pay BRSA. Finally, BRSA is NOT a taxpaying entity.
ETA: FTR record I share you general sentiment but I also think BRSA needs some scrutiny from outside parties because their board of directors and officers are designed to be self perpetuating such that no one new can have a say. You should read BRSA's bylaws. They are on the BRSA website.
