That is actually pretty limited under New Mexico law, and I'm not sure
if further restrictions can actually be imposed by the org (and even
if they could be, I'm not sure this is desirable).
And that makes sense, because otherwise every recreational football
league/etc would find it impossible to get people to volunteer to run
it.
The more strict requirements tend to come into play for for-profit
businesses, and especially for those that are publicly traded.
Ultimately, you get what you pay for, and collectively as a community
we aren't paying for much. Nor, IMO, should we be.
