They knew releasing the statement would get them a fine.
I hope other teams are supporting them behind the scenes though. The irony is that now that the Rangers made this news, the league can't fire Parros, at least not right away, without looking like complete hypocrites. The Rangers probably gave him more job security than he would have had if they could have gathered support from other teams and dealt with it in a quiet manner.
I loved that they had the balls to call him out publicly though and completely agree with them.
