We can scrutinize the nickel and dime of it all, absolutely. What I'm worried about is: how long will this ownership group allow for even the possibility of any season, ever, for any reason, to go into the tax? They seem cool with it at the moment, but I've encountered a lot of speculation from back when the team was sold (that I missed at the time) about how frugal some people who know this family expected them to be when operating the team.
Frankly, I worry more about THAT reaction to the fan backlash (in addition to the potential losing hypothetical that started this conversation) than anything. If they didn't like Harrison, he'd be gone already. I worry more about "oh, you want to boo me in my own arena? Fine, let's just not care as much about who's on this team. It's not as fun as I thought it would be." I think there's a decent chance it gets blamed on US, not on HARRISON.
