How will an online MBA be perceived in applications for a faculty position in economics and accounting? I recently retired and want to get back into pursuing higher education.

I am happily married and live in Los Angeles.  So, I am somewhat geographically constrained concerning my choice of MBA programs to attend.

I have now seriously considered online MBA programs, but I'm worried about the quality and perception and other potential risks of online degrees.

Another obstacle I face is that my employer will likely say that I was not a "team player" or a "good leader" for their organization.  Since MBA programs require so much teamwork and group projects and leadership skills, I don't think I am a good fit for traditional programs, hence the online programs would be better suited for me.  

Can anyone provide some general comments about going the online MBA route?
I wish to become an Assistant Professor of Economics and Accounting.  So, I want to know how an online MBA will impact future employment in academia.
It will take you out of consideration for any faculty appointment. MBAs are headed to industry; to teach (be hired on tenure track), you need a relevant Ph.D. This doesn't depend on whether your program is online or not. 

Come to think of it, depending on how interesting and high-level your prior job was, and if teaching (as opposed to research) interests you, you could target an adjunct position instead.
