I don't know anything about programming, but I think players should be aware of this until it can be modified. Updated Friday, December 30 2016 @ 10:42:25 pm PST

At worst it causes people to drop players by accident. There is a giant "Release" button at the bottom of every player's card. Seems more than sufficient to me.

I'm actually surprised there isn't a confirmation already, as I'm a firm believer that anything with a potential negative effect on your team should require you be absolutely sure. I use this when I need to clear roster space, for instance if I'm running the full 17 on my majors roster and need to make room for a newbie. It's quicker than checking the reassignment page, seeing someone's due for a callup, pulling up the guy you want out of the way for that callup, going back to the reassignment page and making the callup. I honestly don't care what form the confirmation takes, but yes... if it comes with the potential to cause you pain, slap a warning on it.

The button should have a confirmation as well, but the drop down is just asking for trouble. Its not worth keeping just to save you 2 seconds once a week.

I can hit the back arrow icon(or key when I'm on my phone) and never have to worry about dropping someone accidentally. I'm for getting rid of the reassignment page release option, and letting everyone know about this glitch until it can be changed.

That said, although I was originally against removing it, I would rather abstain at this point, because I did almost accidentally release someone I would have been very irritated about losing.
