The American millionaire, who became co-owner of the ninth along with urban music singer Daddy Yankee, launched a series of attacks on the mayor of San Juan, Miguel Romero-Lugo, due to the poor conditions in which the Hiram Bithorn stadium is located. .
In addition, on Thursday of last week Axon, a beneficiary of Law 60 that exempts him from paying taxes on this Caribbean island, threatened to take the group to the eastern city of Humacao.
This caused discomfort in the fans of Santurce, which takes its name from one of the most emblematic neighborhoods of the Puerto Rican capital.
The League pointed out that in recent weeks Axon has made unfortunate expressions against the mayor of San Juan and in contempt for the fans of the Cangrejeros.
The president of the LBPRC, Juan A. Flores, recalled that the organization’s constitution establishes a summary sanction, of fines or suspension, for any person linked to the League or one of its teams.
Flores stated that he had discussed this matter with Lino Rivera, Chief Executive Officer of the Cangrejeros and Property director before the LBPRC Board.
At the time, he was informed about the issuance of a letter where the Santurce Cangrejeros Baseball Club is granted until Friday, March 18, to immediately remove Thomas J. Axon, both from the board of directors and as a shareholder of the legal entity.
The president of the League clarified that, if his determination is not complied with, he would proceed to impose the corresponding sanctions according to the provisions of his Constitution.
Axon, a New Yorker from Brooklyn, had never had a connection to baseball before, beyond being a fan, to the point that he distrusts that the late star Roberto Clemente was Puerto Rican.
