So why not address it with THAT someone instead of taking it to an executive meeting and show it off, as if it's somehow indicative of a "loser" mentality infecting the football team?
At the end of the day, it's supposed to be about football. It wasn't a RAT in a gameday women's restroom, it was a gum wrapper that nobody other than Pioli saw.
A 21-28 win/loss record suggests he should probably stop worrying about gum wrappers and start worrying about football.

It starts from the top down. If a janitor isn't doing his job, that likely means no one is holding him accountable. Now if you have a meeting of managers, including, let's say, the Director of Facilities and the Vice President of Stadium Operations, you can use this as an example of things that they are essentially accountable for, because the people working under their umbrella are not taking care of business.
I really don't think it has anything to do with a candy wrapper, that's getting blown out of proportion. It has to do with making sure your employees, including the managers, understand accountability.
That said, I agree with you that Pioli's job really should be focused on putting a winner on the field. The proof will be in the pudding here in year four. They picked a coach which allows them to stay the course and not use the excuse of rebuilding. They're apparently sticking with the same QB for the same purpose. So essentially, there are no excuses for not winning next year...
