Yes, but calling out a QB for a stupid play won't end your career like calling out a stupid officer will in the military, if you aren't above them in rank. That's the big difference between a 'team' and 'command structure'.Sports teams work with a pretty strict top down structure as well. Like in football, QBs call out the plays and the rest of the team falls in line, and coaches come in above them. Management and owners above that.
If you don't listen, you probably aren't going to be on the team for very long.
Also, pro athletes can just walk away if management gets stupid or corrupt; sure it might cost them a few bucks, but its far from the Dis/Other-than-honorable Discharge the same action would net in the military.
Plus, players have far more ability to hold their employers accountable for fuck ups or mistreatment than the military does.
The idea that the military is a team, and not a machine that cannot hold it's controllers accountable and often acts closer to semi-paid temporary indentured servitude, is pure PR cope and message massaging to keep gullible recruits from seeing through the facade before they sign a contract.If we arnt a team them we should not work as one.
Let's hope all those infantry solders you just got killed, thier families forgive you for them not working together as a team.
Oh there are plenty if teams in the military. More then you realize. Because that is how you make sure people survive and find new ways to keep soldiers alive
A 'team' is where you can actually hold the people above you, all the way to the CEO/owner, accountable for fuck ups. Even a retail shift job is more a 'team' situation than the military, because employees can always just walk away if the leadership/owner becomes corrupt.
