Well, you are 100% wrong here. I was never talking about Whaley "giving himself an out". What I was talking about is how other fans will characterize the decision down the road. In fact, I didn't even mention Whaley! With the ownership situation as it is, no one knows what the front office is going to look like down the road.
Turn about is fair play. Your condescending attitude has been noted by others as well.
