Our coach takes the admirable position and says it's fine, can you imagine the shit kicking he'd have gotten if he said it was bullshit and impacted the game?

Corn Kanes would get his wank suit on and rip him apart, and everyone else would jump in on it. It's something Baines and the president needed to come out against but of course they won't (and I'm not normally someone who rips into them).
