The American Premier League (APL) saw a massive controversy after the owner and umpires got involved in a feud over payment.
According to reports, the umpires claim that they were not paid their due amount of 30 thousand Dollars. On the other hand, APL has claimed that the umpires demanded the amount from the owner despite getting a down payment and blackmailed to stop the semi-finals.

Danny Khan, Vijaya, Brian Owens were told that they cannot black mail and hold the semi hostage as an umpire but these greedy umpires didn't budge at which point they were asked to leave so the match goes on and they refused and held the match hostage at which point cops called," wrote APL through its X (formerly known as Twitter) account. "And these greedy umpires were thrown out of the ground.
