Yes, lots of discussion afterward about coverage and re-airing the footage. Looking back thirty years later it was probably not how we'd do it today, but maybe that's just me being hopeful.
I tried to find some empathy for Schott's reaction, her concern about "going against the fans" after the strike, but she made it very hard. This was a very difficult moment to do well in, but she was definitely one of the worst-equipped owners to handle it with anything resembling grace.
