I will grant you that, we don't hold the players whose numbers we retire in the highest of regards always. Hell, OJ Simspon is in Canton, so there is proof positive that anyone with physical talent can get themselves into the HOF. Borque was a total rental player, which happens in all of the major sports save for the NFL. In the NBA, they dump a player for cap space. MLB, they dump a guy for prospects. NHL, trade deadline is a must to get that push for playoffs.
But, to retire a jersey of a guy that is a good performer and also a public prick, thats just wrong. No one liked Roy and the after-the-fact shit that is coming up is almost a non-surprise.
