I can't say I was surprised by this. #WPBL frontofficesports.com/article/keit...
The CEO of the Women’s Pro Baseball League offered a board member $600,000 to drop her legal fight against him and the league for financial transparency.

She refused, and now, the CEO is firing her from her WPBL board position, effectively squashing her legal campaign.
