Sadly principles don’t often win. Crowder is a man of principle. That means something.
I will kindly disagree with you. He is well off enough that he can say no, and good for him. He is taking a stand on his principals and I consider that a win. I would rather have character qualities of honest convection, integrity, and principals based upon good morals. I respect him for standing his ground as well as attempting to handle a business arrangement without shedding his principals.
