Very few Nats fans were anything but supportive of Rizzo's decision, both in 2012 and now. I personally don't know a single Nats' fan who disagrees with the decision. I'd estimate that on Nats' blogs back in 2012, fewer than ten percent of Nats fans objected to the decision. In fact, one big topic of conversation in 2012 on Nats' blogs was why there was such a different reaction among the national media to Rizzo's shutdown decision and among local media and local Nats fans, who were overwhelmingly supportive.
