An example of the first sort of commissioner is Kenesaw Mountain Landis. And example of the second sort is Pete Rozelle. The current circumstance with player concussions and their health after they retire is somewhere in between, in my view. Seeing an interview with Brian Urlacher recently, it seems that the players themselves are very near term oriented and don't think about their long term health while they are playing. So that poses some interesting challenges as the league must act with respect to the players much like a parent acts with respect to their children.
