How in the world does being being a football player on a good team qualify one to be the president of a huge entertainment business?

Then again, I don't think we had a thread questioning Pat Lafontaine's credentials, did we?

Expand  

We did not.

Just pointing out (as I did in my first post in this thread) that there are a few owners who played their sports.  Not many, but a few.

Maybe what causes threads like this to be started, is when a team president looking for a GM conducts NO interviews, and just hires an under qualified employee who was running the youth hockey academy, because of familiarity.  Fast forward 9 months, and the team is as bad as ever.

 

Does this seem like a sound business decision?  ðŸ˜‚

YOU PIG.

Wouldn't you say having experience in the industry you want to president is important?

Best I can tell, that dude won life's lottery a couple of times -- married a smoke show of a younger woman and sold a quite risky business venture for a billion or more. Fair to add that, sometimes, you make your own luck.

This reveals quite a bit. As far as I can recall, you are the only poster on this board to routinely objectify Kim. It's 2021. We don't do that.

Is this over yet? I have to get down to the lodge for a mask-burning party. Some girls from the college are going to jump out of a coffin.

Switch Kim and Terry in this scenario and the thread still gets started.

Expand  

The thread might still be started but with a different question - like "Should Terry hand over control of the day-to-day operations?" or "Is Terry incompetent and meddling?"  

The "is Terry qualified?" question would never be asked.  Not that way, not ever.

The fact that this is a female is central to why question qualifications. What qualifies Gerry Jones? Or any other man? Is Terry more qualified? No. Plain and simple.

Expand  

If it was a man and this question was asked, we all would just answer it. Because it’s a women, we are told not to even ask.

Notice kids that NO ONE is asking for Terry Pegula to provide detailed information on what he did at the company for 30 years, but the woman, the "owner's wife", she needs to write us a detailed report so us internet men can judge her on her qualifications. Get the ***** out of here. 

Expand  

What a load of crap. We have been questioning Terry’s hockey credentials since day one.

 

If the Sabres were great, we would be touting the wonderful job a women president was doing. You want equality, well here it is, we get to call out that same president for sucking and being unqualified.

We all agree she sucks at her job.  Just ask it that way and avoid these types of debates.  No one starts a thread, "Terry Pegula background..."

Yes. Or at least preferable.

That said, a leadership role in a music company (I'm not overly familiar with what Kim did in that area of the Pegula enterprise) is probably more relevant to the Sabres president job than being a first-line centre.

I think you're fighting the wrong battle here: it's irrelevant whether Kim "deserves" the job; what's important is whether she's good at it.

So far she has failed to hire the right hockey people or make the paying customers happy. In my view, that's at least partially because she hasn't been able to convince her husband to stop playing fantasy GM

I don't mean to objectify her. I do think she's a good looking lady. (Also: She smells nice.) I'm sorry if you're offended by that.

Jerry Jones is not the example you want to use here.  He won a national championship as a player.

Expand  

Possibly true but he's not particularly talented as a general manager in my opinion. Nor do I think a former player is any more qualified just because he played the game.

I have devoted the last 10 years of my life doing exactly that.

Correct why did we ask? Frankly my impression is Kim is a bit sharper than Terry.🤔 I'm not impressed with either and has nothing to do with gender.

What is it other than being the owners wife qualifies her to be head of PSE, and therefore President of two major league sports franchise in North America? 

Expand  

It basically is the question.  "Other than being the owners wife" was built in to the question, but she's THE CO-OWNER OF THE TEAM.  She's not the "owner's wife" any more than Terry is the "owner's husband."

You are paraphrasing to fit your narrative.

The question is and has been what qualifies her to be president of the team, not what qualifies her to be owner.

They are different.

Maybe just mildly creeped out and I’m the most vile disgusting person I know. 😀
