15. I'd draw a distinction between favoring his decision and the poll question

The poll asked readers if they were upset about it. I don't approve of his decision but hasn't affected me emotionally - I'm definitely not upset.

Before he was a goalie, and now I'll root against him because he's a RW idiot. I'm sure I'm far from alone even among those who feel he had every right to do this.
