It's my personal opinion that if you need reminding to be honest, humble and act with integrity then I'm worried as these values are basic human nature.
You said it yourself that the football crowd is savvy, we recognise effort/humility etc when we see it. Brings me back to the point about Tarek, he probably personified those values better than anyone we've ever had, and I'd bet it was because that's who he is, rather than reading about them in the clubs bio.
As stated, I wasn't having a go at you and totally understand why corporations use them (wife works in corporate world), I just fear for mankind when we need to produce written statements saying that we are going to try our best not to be complete shitcunce.
