How about we try to acknowledge that emotion is only going to make us... more emotional. An award from here is going to elicit many emotions. Just like we've seen over the last ten years.
Problem is, those emotional reactions do not mean a thing from here on out. Those emotions do not directly relate to fair. Fair will be determined by the arb panel, very shortly.
Emotional outrage from one party or another has been extinguished by the process we all agreed to, once again. But this time, it is super serious. Serious men doing serious work have layed it all on the table. As have all parties.
There is no opportunity for one group to advantage themselves over another. It's gone. The award will be unprecedently bulletproof to any litigation.
When it is finally published for all to read, the reaction from all parties will be telling, but the reaction from all parties will be just that, a reaction. Duly noted in the record but not a factor to what happens next.
The procedure to get where we are will end up... completely out of any of our control. Things are about to go to warp speed, and the result will be completely immune to any perceived wrong that must be made right.
