Pro Sports is the only thing where random jabrones think they are far superior intellectually than people running organizations. The only other profession that is a highly scrutinized is politics.
I can't think of anything else. These guys normally spend from the age of 5-10, playing the sport, growing up in the sport, at some point transitioning into an office job within the sport, gaining years of experience in the sport in a non-ice/field capacity, then finally realizing the GM role. Meanwhile dudes who are like, "I played when I was 12, or never played at all, then I got a computer sciences degree, then I work in an office where I can barely look someone in the eye... me... I'm probably a much better person at making decisions than these people!"
I've never looked at an orchestra maestro and been like... maaaaaan, what's he thinking putting that flute in the 2nd chair?!?
