Wizofoz,
I'm not an AOA member and not a fan of the ban...however..
Perhaps not quite the statement you seek.. the ban as part of a wider strategy could, stress could, get some, stress some, of the 49ers their jobs back. Further, the ban, as part of a wider strategy, has prevented further 49ers.
One statement which you or anyone else can disagree with; doing nothing will result in no reinstatements and leaves the door wide open to further intimidation.
