re: Pels getting the long list of GM candidates from search firm next week

Sure, but there are a lot of wealthy, non athlete people who think (and are told) they are much smarter and more important than they are. Whose parents don't ever care about their grades (or will spend $$$ to get them into schools). Who ply their trade in pseudo-intellectualism/moral-philosophizing from a place of immense privilege.

We have a president who's main strengths are inheriting money, being great at Twitter, and always, no matter the situation, demanding that he is right. It's no shock that other wealthy people (of all types) will be out of touch with reality when this is the cultural norm.
