As many of you have heard, at this point, I have not signed the AVP player agreement and will, therefore, not be competing for the foreseeable future at any AVP events.

I have both experienced and been privy to poor treatment of the athletes and of the sport at the hands of this rendition of the AVP and I, in good conscience, can not support something in which I do not believe. It is counter to who I am.
