The machismo of this kind of U.S. business prose trickles through from the rhetoric of the sports field. The CEOs are the multimillion-dollar sports stars, the employees are encouraged to think of themselves as part of a winning team, and sales and marketing departments are heavy with the motivational chatter of sports. Playing the game, Red HerringI hate that motivation chatter but the fact that it is based on sports cliches is what really makes it unbearable.
