This is the reason he should have been fired a month ago. Presented fait accompli, before all of his buddies had time to organize, this would be a done deal by now. There would have been grumbling but admission that things have been stalled for almost two years.
Wait till the end of the season, many said. That will be the time, they said. And I am sure they are still going to fire him but now there will be this hue and cry for a few weeks. It will drag on a bit after the season is over. The Unionestas will be in an uproar and it will be like the Great Radar Debate about whether Judy fired him over the phone or she called him on the phone to her office and he wouldn't come down and be fired properly.
JP quit on Christmas. Don't look for Blankenship to go on Thanksgiving Weekend of his own free will. Blood in the streets will follow.
