You said it in your blog, LBNY and the NYPC will be totally complementary, and we really want your readers to know it. Below is my comment to the joke Mr. Murphy published in NY Magazine:<BR/><BR/>Too much false information in this article would give the wrong impression about what’s happening in NYC and I have to add a corrections! <BR/>To begin with the title: Le Divorce! Absolutely false! Members from both clubs have reciprocal rights to participate to all tournaments organized by LBNY or NYPC. Members from both clubs will enjoy the privilege to use the Brooklyn courts or the NYC ones. Where is the divorce? Trust me! I have divorced and the terms are quite different! NYPC is creating a "competitive branch" to LBNY, NYPC will undertake the training of young players, will create workshops for the members who want to get better at our game/sport...which is a bit more than "ball-rolling". It is the assumption of the author that the "top 8 players" have left LBNY. Again, false! no one from NYPC have said such fallacy to the author, and if it is true that 3 of the members of the NYPC will represent the USA at the next World Championship, the words "top player" never came from the mouth of "splinter-group leader" Jean-Pierre Subrenat. I have been called many things in my life but this is a new one! There is not "one" leader! A group of players have created a new club, in TOTALLY friendly terms with LBNY, and there is no ground to look for material for a new Soap Opera à la French way! Mr. Murphy, you make me look like Che Guevara, and you put words into Mr. Santos mouth for your own fun. Mr. Santos is not measuring the fact that only half of new members of NYPC are superior...you made him say that and it's not nice for the other half...whoever it is!<BR/>We are a peaceful group of pétanque players who try to go about their sport without attracting gossip columnist of the NYC papers, and we intend to remain that way. If to you, it's a source of fun, enjoy it, but also, please come and see us when the season starts, and you'll change your mind!<BR/>Jean-Pierre SubrenatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
