This is true, but the above still can be applied, because the owner will lose money if fans don't come to games, especially now in a pandemic.
I'm sure that Hunt's bottom line numbers took a hit one way or another in that year. And for a owner who is really smart, and did what he needed to do after the fact (meeting with Andy and honoring Andy's wishes that working with Pioli wasn't going to work). That has to be acknowledged, because Hunt could have simply ignored us and continue to push on with the Pioli bullshit narrative.
It just comes down to how the owner is perceived. Like the Bengals owner, he's a cheapskate bastard. Same applies to Bidwell at the time.
