CSAC COMMISSIONERS VAN GORDAN SAUTER AND JOHN FRIERSON MUST GO!
Racist Van Gordon Sauter, John Frierson, must go. They were on this CSAC commission in 2003 when all this corruption was going on. Fixed Fights, MMA was legal along with Tough Man which were approved together December of 2000.(Note proof at bottom Art Dore and Kage Kombat being approved). Art Dore was a big Tough Man promoter. This is more proof that MMA and Tough Man were approved. Why did these commissioners hold back MMA until 2006 for Pro and 2010 for amateur when both were already approved in 2000. Why are they still around? Was it so UFC could gain full control of the sport? Also they extort taxes from WWE even when they don’t regulate fake wrestling. They say WWE volunteers giving them $300,000.00 a year not required tax.
Governor Jerry Brown appoints his brother-in-law to California State Athletic Commission
They also say if you end up like these guys with a dent in your head by a flying knee or Spinning Heel Kick to head it is light contact no head gear required or regulation needed. But if you don’t strike the head where this will never happen as in pankration where no head strikes are allowed then it is full contact and regulation is needed. Adult safe pankration is now extinct.
SO ON NOVEMBER 15, 2000 I RECEIVE THIS LETTER FROM SENATOR JOHN McCAIN THE ONE THAT BANNED NHB CLAIMING ITS A COCK FIGHT. ALL OF A SUDDEN I GET A LETTER FROM CSAC NOVEMBER 27, 2000 TELLING ME I AM ON THE AGENDA DECEMBER 7, 2000 TO GET THE FIRST MMA LICENSE. THE POWER OF THE PEN.
DCA/CSAC are in violation of the law written according to the Business and Professions code. There are termed out Commissioners still on the board. They need to follow the written law not above the law rule.

Click green link above. Read below he is termed out why is he still on CSAC?
John Frierson, Commissioner: Mr. Frierson has been a member of the Athletic Commission since 2001. A 26 year veteran of the Los Angeles Police and Sheriff’s Departments, he served as Senior Traffic Supervisor for the Police Department for 17 years. He’s been a member of the Los Angeles Transportation Commission since 2001, and is currently its Vice President. Chairman Frierson is an Executive Board Member of the California Democratic Party and was a delegate to the Democratic National Convention from 1976 through 2000.

COULD CSAC COMMISSIONER JOHN FRIERSON BE THE PERSON BEHIND MY ILLEGAL ARREST BECAUSE OF HIS LONG TIES WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT?

Investigation: The future of combat sports in California
This response to above link. Frierson is untouchable.
The reversal of the CSAC Gift Policy tells everything you need to know about Chairman Frierson.
First and foremost, it shows that Chairman Frierson is politically untouchable in California. When you consider every conceivable measure of political power, Frierson is off the charts.
Take a second and think about what type of political power you would need to be appointed Chairman of CSAC.
Now think of how much power you would need to keep your appointment after being rocked by the CSAC Gift Policy scandal. The fact that Chairman Frierson even survived the scandal tipped his hand to the fact that he is politically elite
Now imagine the brazen balls and overlapping political power you would need to reverse the measures that were enacted as a result of the CSAC Gift Policy scandal.
Frierson successfully voted to reverse the CSAC Gift Policy so he would be able to give away expensive tickets without breaking the law. Considering that California is in a financial crisis and CSAC has been called out for abusing the gift policy in the recent past, this reversal is beyond excessive and something that only the highest level of political elite can pull off.
Chairman Frierson knows that he is powerful and does what he wants, when he wants because of it. Even if AB2100 is the best policy ever introduced to CSAC, Frierson could easily kill it for no other reason than he needs events to come to California so he can give away those free tickets.
Most important meeting of the year the last meeting. Frierson and Ayala are a no show and Sauter and Carvelli don’t return to meeting after intermission break. DCA director and ex corrupt CSAC commissioner Grafillo calls them on phone and tells them to end meeting immediately because of no Quorum. Mary Lehmans ask if they are still being filmed before she ends meeting Proof of meeting below. This caused for no public comment. Most shady CSAC commission ever.
MARK RATNER WAS HIRED BY ZUFFA. HE WAS EX EXECUTIVE OFFICER FOR NEVADA STATE ATHLETIC COMMISSION. HE TOLD ALL STATE COMMISSIONS TO STOP AMATEUR MMA BACK IN THE DAY OR THEY WILL NOT COME TO THERE STATE. THE UFC ALSO DID THIS WITH YOUTH PANKRATION. COMMISSIONER CARVELLI USES THE SAME LOBBYIST THE UFC USESES.

MORE PROOF OF FRIERSON AND SAUTER CORRUPTION. IN THESE CSAC MINUTES PROOF OF FIXED MMA FIGHTS PLUS PROOF OF MMA BACK THEN. ALSO PROOF THEY WOULD TAKE MONEY FROM SMALL WRESTLING EXHIBITIONS WHICH NOW THEY DON’T ONLY EXTORT TAX FROM WWE. THESE TWO MUST GO. TERMED OUT FOR YEARS.
PROOF OF SHADY NO QUARUM MEETING AT LAST MEETING OF YEAR 2017. MOST IMPORTANT MEETING. FRIERSON AND AYALA NO SHOW AND CARVELLI AND SAUTER DID NOT COME BACK TO MEETING AFTER BREAK. GET RID OF THIS USELESS CSAC.
OCTOBER 2009 FRIERSON WAS ON COMMISSION WHEN THE KARDASHIAN TOUGHMAN WAS HELD IN NOVEMBER OF 2009.
