C'mon - enough of the copout statements that the DC government is incompetant and always at fault for everything. We are not dealing with the Barry administration any longer.
The point here is what is the best approach to get things done and make the ticket buying, fan appreciation business of baseball operate the most smoothly ? The Lerners are displaying an "I Gots Ya" mentality. That approach is counter productive - something we would expect of the police for pulling a car over that's going 5 mph over the speed limit. While the Lerners have some legal authority to demand furfillment of the contract to the letter, it doesn't mean the end conclusion of employing this tactic will be the best result for either the Lerners, the city, the team, or the fans.
The Lerners are making a mistake here. The sooner they realize it, the faster this controversy will be over.
