I get team loyalty, but that's ridiculous. I don't know if he can sue them, but I hope they get so much bad press that they have to apologize.

Did they let him take a work picture at least? The Packers deciding not to let IR players in on the team Superbowl picture is crap. I hope they find a way to get those guys down there.

Apparently it is not standard. Have heard and read a lot of ex players destroying them over the decision.

That may be enough to lose those players wanting to return. For something so stupid, they are really ostracizing players that helped them get there.

Sweet. That would have been a mess. I know on the stations around here, we were told to go complain to the organization about it. A lot of people were calling in all fired up, so I'm sure they felt the "need" to comply. Its nice to not have to deal with an owner. The people seem to have more of a voice.
