Is MLS leadership exempt from the USSF Conflict of Interest Policy?

From reading though the policy as a layman... it would appear so.

HERE IS THE DOWNLOAD LINK TO THE FULL POLICY

The part in question is here (bold provided for emphasis).

A. Conflicts of Interest 

1.

No Person shall act in any manner which causes him or her to have a direct or indirect interest in or relationship with any outside organization or person that might affect (or that might reasonably be understood or misunderstood by others as affecting) the objectivity or independence of his or her judgment or conduct in carrying out the duties and responsibilities he or she has in connection with the USSF's activities. For purposes of this Policy, “outside organization” shall not include any constituent or affiliated member entities of the USSF provided such Person holds elected office in or is directly employed in a full-time capacity by such outside organization.

That seems pretty cut and dry that full time employees of MLS are exempt from the USSF Conflict of Interest Policy. We may have some foxes in the hen house.
