It's a PR failure, which is one thing. Bad but not irredeemable by any means. I'd like someone to apply the blowtorch to John Bean, who surely must've known every minute detail of this. His son was on the team, for ####'s sake.
People are blowing the media release WAY out of proportion. Was it a mis-step? Perhaps, but this is debatable, since we have no idea how this went down behind closed doors. At worst, this is an error that was prompted by a combination of the actual facts the Flames had in hand and were permitted, or obligated, to report, and nothing more. As such, people are understandably happy to move on, because in the grand scheme, this is an idiotic thing to complain about.
