It's not about Kennedy being a "face" or good for PR. He has valuable perspective to bring that would be useful for the league and players. This was one of his quotes from LeBrun's column today:
Quote:
“If you look at the amount of people that surrounded this situation in a leadership role or in a work capacity role such as HR or whatever it might be — nobody did the right thing.
“To me, that says there’s a lack of knowledge, a lack of leadership around these issues, and a lack of priority. We’re in a big transition here in society where you get the real progressive, the big organizations that have made all of these issues — whether it’s sexual assault, or harassment, discrimination, inclusion, you’ve made those a priority within your organization. And they’re led by leadership. The other organizations that haven’t, they’ve really fallen back on ‘Well, we’ve got it covered in our policies.’ They’re the ones struggling now."
