Just because they are supportive doesn't mean it is a propaganda piece.
IMO, stating that City Council needs to WAKE UP and get an arena deal done is where their impromptu(?) get together crossed the line from opinion piece to propaganda piece.

They easily could have left it as "a new building needs to be built and the 2 sides need to sit down and work this out".

But they didn't. Rather, they UNANIMOUSLY agreed that any lack of progress on a deal is the fault of the City's representatives. Seems pretty clear to me they've taken sides.

YMMV of course.
