I'd have less of an issue if they hadn't come out with that whole PR campaign about how they vetted him thoroughly and talked up his character. That's the reason they look so awful right now. Yeah, they went out of their way to let the world know George was against it from the start but was persuaded by McDonald buying his own plane ticket and then having a conversation with his parents. Plus, Fangio "vouched" for his character. They should have said we are taking a chance on him and expect him to be on the straight and narrow and leave it at that. Hub's article was essentially correct, but horribly misguided in its timing. They weren't "wrong" in taking a chance on the guy, but they did handle it wrong and now is not the time to plead their case.
