Betts 在该日向媒体发布的文章中阐述了不想担任侍酒师大师以及辞职的具体原因 , 主要有二 。
其一是Betts 认为当前要求种族平等和社会公正的呼声长期以来一直被忽视 , 而最近全球正在为其发声 , 但在CMSA圈子中 , 部分言论却认为CMSA并非政治组织 , 希望其保持中立 。 Betts 认为此为缺乏同情心的表现 , 并强调称 , 这是压死他们的最后一根稻草 。

Betts 说道:“这是不可接受的 。 从来没有中立的事 , 一个人的中立就等于被动地认可了现状 , 而BIPOC(注:一个黑人、土著人以及有色人种的运动)在美国的状况直到现在仍然被人认为是恐怖的 。 ”
其二是Betts 认为CMSA机构在2018年那桩震惊业界的作弊丑闻的处理方式上不合理 。

2018年10月 , 侍酒师大师协会董事会的总裁Devon Broglie MS在发给考生的信件中表示:侍酒师大师协会美洲分会的一位成员在考试前泄露了今年侍酒师大师Diploma试卷盲品部分的机密信息 , 并宣布23名新通过的侍酒师大师被取消资格 。
Betts 认为这种取消是“不公正”的 。 并表示对于自己而言 , 倘若仍然保留该机构的成员身份就是默认该组织及其观点 。 故而决定辞职 。

My Resignation from the Court of Master Sommeliers, Americas
Today I resigned from the Court of Master Sommeliers Americas (CMSA) because I view it as an organization whose values are at great odds with my own.
The recent global amplification of the long-ignored outcry for racial equality and social justice has elicited what feels to me like a complete lack of empathy from the CMSA; for me this was the last straw. Coupled with the unjust annulment of the 2018 Masters exam, I have concluded that for myself, remaining a member would be to tacitly endorse the organization and its views.
This is not a decision that I take lightly, nor would it be accurate to characterize my resignation as one of “giving up.” I am doing this only after expending a great deal of time, energy, and my own capital in an effort to affect change in the organization.
I’ve served as a board member and have taught dozens of courses and exams over the past 17 years, and I’ve always trusted that the organization’s by-laws and code of ethics would serve the membership well. Regretfully I’ve come to understand that those by-laws have evolved in such a manner as to effectively prevent all but the old guard from running for the board of directors which is responsible for shaping policy. This is not the stance of a progressive or inclusive organization, it’s one of protectionism affording no reasonable opportunity for change on anything less than an extremely protracted timescale. I do not endorse this and hope that my renunciation of the CMSA may somehow abbreviate their timeline for change.
