That's a reasonable explanation i suppose. TeamR got TeamD backed into a corner with no way out except to either pass schit, or let everything suffer because of TeamR being obtuse. Which of course, team D will get the blame for, regardless. So, there you have it. In the world of politcs, all you have to do is hold your breath, and pout like a 5 year old tell you get what you want.
