Who should the franchise have sided with? Besides, I have a hard time believing that Darrell Green was petty about charity work recogintion. That seems a little far fetched...imo.
No denying Green's enormous impact on the field. And his charity work is extremely commendable, but he definitely had/has a dark side to him. Mitchell has a "tell it like it is" somewhat uncivilized manner that doesn't appeal to people. I get annoyed by him myself. And there are some unsavory aspects about his character as well. But he probably shouldn't have been dismissed quite the way he was.
