The people who were quick enough (not Vagina Dan) to change their tickets and included the 7 feel like they got screwed. And the truth is both parties are right.

I have no idea why they took the 3rd off. It wasn't a baby race, nor a sprint so it makes no sense to me. Going forward I hope they wait to make the decision. The problem started when they made he decision with a few minutes to post and it snowballed from there.

Hopefully they handle situations like this better in the future but I won't count on it.
Of Course I know it isn't going to happen just torquing Freddie who said they "did the right thing by the players". I would have complained like I always do when they take it off the Turf after the start that they should have done it earlier. My main problem is I need consistent rules that are followed, and this is egregious and to me reeks of preferential treatment to someone who complained loudly. I want to play a game where the rules are enforced as written cause that is what I signed up for. Listen if they DON'T learn from this then there really is no hope whatsoever and the gaming commission should investigate why the violation of their own written rules. I'm willing to forgive a mistake in the heat of battle. Same sh*t like NTRA saying NO deferrals last year but granted them to those who complained to them. I just want everyone on a level playing field.
