There are degrees of everything of course. I'm not sure the "It's just business" approach of a typical high-performing football team is necessarily the best model for a lot of companies. The default approach to someone going through a rough patch for family reasons or whatever maybe shouldn't be to boot them out the door.
But, yeah, to the degree that their culture was driven by the "Past" descriptions, especially taken to extremes, I don't see anything particularly problematic about that deck.
