Doesn't sound like that. It was mostly the kind of move an skilled politician would use. Just think about it: if he had closed the Arena, that would have been an error, and the Council would be to blame. If they allowed the Arena, and people got hurt, the Council would be to blame.

So he conveniently used Lin as a scapegoat, just in case things went wrong.
