Steve Frost correctly and politely reminded me with a reply to a tweet I posted yesterday that this situation is difficult for a number of people to handle. I made a crack that the PA (I didn't tag him) shouldn't try to hype such a small and downtrodden crowd, and we should instead have the "dignity" to just quietly cross our fingers on third down. A bitter comment from a frustrated fan directed toward someone trying to make the best omelet with what's given to him.
So, I once again put on my Hallmark sheriff badge and don my hat of empathy to post a reminder that as much as we want complete change for the program, this process is very upsetting for many people who work in the Arrillaga Family Sports Center and who aren't responsible for the state of things. Even within the group of responsibles there is a wide spectrum of culpability and therefore I feel more sympathy for some than people who are compensated more than $5 million a year, or whatever it actually is. When the rebuild does occur it will probably mean quite a few people will lose their jobs — probably not Frost but who knows.
Quick "negative" tangent: I feel like some people on Twitter who really hate the negativity about Shaw are numbed by capitalist society to think someone compensated at a rate of more than $5 million a year should be treated like a "regular" working person. I'm going to demand a lot from someone who receives that kind of money and I'm sorry but I am not giving you years to fix a problem you created. Are you nuts? FIVE MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR. Jesus.
