At the risk of commencing a debate about Gobwin's law, read the charter of the AOA.
The AOA is neither there for the majority or the few. We pay our subs for what is right. Occasionally that may result in a perceived short term loss. e.g, the defense of the 49ers. Unfortunately too many then decided to favour the majority rather than what was right. Maybe had we had some moral fortitude then we wouldn't be in this mess now.
