Message: [QUOTE="OrangePA, post: 2018616, member: 204"] I didn't get the impression that he "blindly" supported his players. He publicly supported the right of the players to protest - at least that's how I understand it. Doing it [B]publicly [/B]was the key ingredient to the leadership he showed. Doing it [B]privately would have been the safe thing[/B] to do, but it would not have meant as much to his players who themselves had already taken a public position that was certainly not in their best interests politically - based upon their principles. When your subordinates show courage you as a leader should do your best to support it. Just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
