re: Retiring numbers is counter productive

I don’t think it’s shameful, but you should have a damn good reason to retire a number.

For your Example, I agree, Chad Kelly wore number 10 after ElI and broke Ole Miss records, and this number shouldn’t be retired imo.

But a good example of where a number should’ve been retired is NASCAR, and the #3 car. Dale was the biggest name in the sport, died on the last lap of the biggest race in the sport, and they were correct for trying to retire it, but then fricked that up too, and let some mediocre nascar driver take it.
