Legal Question in Entertainment Law in Massachusetts

Re: Law suit for a softball league

Having no assets is not a reason for someone not to sue. They can still sue and if they win, then can get a judgement. Whether and how that judgement will be satisfied if the league has no money is a question that should enter the mind of a potential plaintiff in making a strategic decision whether or not to sue; it will not necessarily prevent them from suing.

Re: Law suit for a softball league

Yes. Not that it would do the plaintiff much good if the defendant truly has no assets, but simply having no assets is not a bar to the filing of a lawsuit. A successful plaintiff would wind up with all assets (e.g., the name, advertising sponsor lists) if cash assets are insufficient to satisfy a judgment.
