I know people get tired of hearing it, but the fact is that we almost certainly do not know the while story here: we as fans and outside observers are unfortunately ill equipped to judge whether or not the team is being fair to its players based on the information we receive in the media.

When this plays out over the course of the next several weeks and months, then we will know a lot more. Until then, it seems silly to me that we get so upset about the optics of this situation.
Management came out and clearly stated that their approach to the team would be "Always earned, never given.". And you position is, what? We can't take a clear statement like that as a reasonable indication of what their actual practices will be?
