who really gives a F*** whether new joiners can join the AOA. i joined in support for the 49'ers only to realise that the AOA is full of fat-cats who were willing to offer 5% of their salary but not stick their neck on the real line. gutless ******s really.....needless to say, i am not in the aoa any more and most probably, under its current stewardship and direction, will never be again.
