CCA: another defection

View Full Version : CCA: another defection




Fausto Coppied
  
So, the Canadian Cycling Association saga continues. The CCA loses another employee. They are looking for a finance person again. Didn’t they tell us this stuff was under control? Why do they have to keep re-starting from scratch? Are you still buying into the bull****?



Why do you think they have to keep re-hiring people?



Why do so many people quit?



Answer: because the clowns in charge don't have a clue what they are doing. They put people in place like Lorraine Lafreničre and Kim Sebrango, who nobody wants to work for because they do not know anything about the sport of cycling and they do not have a clue how to run the governing body in charge of the sport.



How long people?



How long must we tolerate this failure, stupidity and mediocrity?



How long before Sport Canada steps in and says enough is enough?



How long before the provincial associations say something?



How long before cyclists decide to take back their sport?

Why does the Finance person need cycling experience?

The Executive Director of the Canadian Cycling Associatinon (Lorraine Lafreniere)and the Director of Marketing (Kim Sebrango) both had absolutely no cycling experience before being hired by the CYCLING association.

If you think about it (of course nobody at the CCA does think about it), the finance person is probably the person least likely to need cycling experience in the organization.

I can't believe all the **** that pours from your mouth, in fact you are so obsessed that you truly need professional help! You really are sick.

Take a look around you. What do you see?

Do you see any new sponsors? No.

Do you see any new races? No.

Do you see and new teams? No.

Is their decent prize money? No.

The Road Nationals almost were not held, for God's sake, the CCA forgot to reserve the date of their most important event.

The last Executive Director of the CCA left after only 18 months. They have had five or six Exec. Directors in four years. The last Finance guy was there for less than two years.

The new marketing coordinator Kim Sebrango has done next to nothing, nothing, in two years, just as I predicted. She will quit before year's end.

Canadian cycling is at its worst in the last 30 years.

The new Executive Director will fail as well, you can be sure of that.

The sport is being led by people who had never been to a bike race before being hired.

This is simple stupidity.

Dear Fausto

223 postings of negativety, count them - 223. Because of your over confidence and arrogance why not start your own cycling association, and just walk away from the CCA. Untill that happens I still recommend you seek professional help.

You were completely unable to address one item above, weren't you?

You would be hard pressed to find one single thing that is going right in Canadian cycling. Go ahead..., try.

Your suggestion about forming another association is a good one and that is probably exactly what should be done. The current CCA is unrepresentative of the sport and is killing it in Canada.

Prove me wrong.
