I remember Drucker noting that after CEO-to-worker pay ratios went above 25–1,especially during turbulent times, major moral questions started to be raised.

I responded specifically to this and I asked you which moral issues were in play? You chose to shift the point to economics rather than morals. I don't disagree with you or Drucker on the economics but I am interested in the concept of morality in business as far as pay differences go.

As far as your sports analogy is concerned, doesn't the quarterback make more than anyone else on most teams? Why?

I quoted Drucker. I did not say I agree with him.

Therefore, the question you have should be addressed to his disciples, not me.

AS for Quarterbacks, I believe they get paid more for the PERCEIVED importance of their position. Many claim that their importance to an offense and a team’s success is indisputable.

Of course there are others who argue that this is overlooking the importance of defense. The defensive side of the ball does create some room for discussion as to which pieces are more critical than others in a team.
