A radio play-by-play announcer quits with an online posting. There are so many mistakes made here: The announcement includes misspellings and takes place in a public forum while burning all bridges along the way. These things persist, you know.

This response seems to suggest that, institutionally, the latter belief is in the driver's seat.
