Your leader has just thrown down the gauntlet. Everyone in the other locker room is going use that to feed the massive chip they have on their shoulder. Everyone in the media is going to be buzzing about what he did and whether it was a good idea, whether it was classy, whether it was sportsmanlike . . . .
It's all talk. That's all it is. The only people who matter are the people in this locker room. The only people who can do anything about it are in this room, right now.
Your leader has thrown down the gauntlet. Are you going to back him up?!
YOUR LEADER JUST CRIED 'HAVOC!' AND LET SLIP THE DOGS OF WAR!!!! BACK HIM UP!!! MAKE IT STICK AND SHUT THEM UP!!!!!!
(A more extended version would include a passage about how Jamie Morris bailed Jim out in '86 but it's no time for a history lesson right now.)
Time to put up or shut up.
