Do you perhaps think you're being a little too black and white here?
There's acknowledging the fact that public opinion actually matters and has influence on the value of a business and needs to be considered.
AND
There's letting the media - and by extension public opinion - entirely influence every decision you make ("run your franchise," as you would say).
Clark Hunt has a business. One of his employees lied to him. Not about a minor infraction, but about something quite serious and something that could certainly impact the value of said business. That same employee also had a couple other similar incidents in just that offseason alone. If this isn't the NFL and we're not fans who are desperate for a Super Bowl, does anything about this make Clark Hunt really seem like a man who has ceded operational control of his franchise to the media mob?
