But Jiggly put HO in a position where they couldn’t reasonably do it because he got Chicago to reject the candidate (admittedly without valid reason). At that point forcing the issue puts the candidate in charge of a team that has decided they don’t want them. Which would be fucking awful.
I wasn't trying to be critical of HO necessarily. I'm just saying the last time this happened the HO squashed it and the league moved on, something I think anyone outside of the 4-5 actives in Chicago would be fine with. I will also note that the person HO chose went IA, and team went under bot leadership afterwards so the situations are different.
As for Chicago's objections, they are clinging onto a team and brand that they themselves have been involved in tainting. In my opinion it's hard to take their opinion on the situation seriously as the first move by any decent replacement is to purge most of the active players for draft picks, have a slow year, then work on building an active team moving forward in upcoming drafts.
