I think it is becoming clear that keeping Baldwin on this team is a risk. He is a very smart man, but does not seem to grasp that this is a business... a business for winning.
If Doug has such a problem with the business of football, I would like to invite him to join me in the business of banking and markets. If he thinks football is cutthroat, he should try global markets. Peanuts in compensation to that of minimum NFL salaries, regulated risk that may cause jail time, and if your approach is uncovered your best friend will short you out of the game in less than a day.
Grow up Doug. Your childish approach to the business of football is now officially "tired".
Not sure that comparing the NFL to banking is a real good comp.........
Ok. I'll bite. What is a fair comp to the cut throat nature of football business? Is it teaching? Is it science? Is it geology? Is it politics (I think maybe yes)? is it civil service? Is it Insurance? Is it baseball?
My point is that Doug Baldwin bitches about football business as if it is unique to football. It is not unique. In 2008, traders in large investment firms were given an option: 1) Sell off worthless products for a good fee to known clients (claiming free markets) knowing full well you will never trade again. 2) Leave the company immediately, with no cash settlement, knowing you will never trade again.
