Example: I was in the Army and Desert Storm/Shield, I needed to have faith in my leadership (Section Chief/Platoon Sergeant/First Sergeant). I didnt need to have faith in George Bush (President), Dick Cheney (Secretary of Defense), etc... Division Sergeant Major and Commander were about as high as I cared about, but the leadership that was needed was in my general AO every day.

How many employees or corporations give two craps about their CEO or look to him for leadership or inspiration? Virtually none in a company the size of the NFL.

I didn't say he was the player's leader - I said he is the leader of the league. The fact that the key element in the league's success - the players - have no faith in the man is not merely academic IMO.

I can tell you during my time with Google - a lack of faith in Larry and Sergey and Eric would have been a very BIG deal.

We agree to disagree.
