Narrative:
On my walk around I found icing on the backside of the fan blades and leading edge of fan blades. I told the push driver and the manger that was standing there about it and that I had 17 years of deicing and felt that the engine should be cleared of contamination. The manager looked at it and said it could go but I believe he was worried about just getting it out due to multiple planes waiting for gates.
