What you say about ‘many organisations’ is obviously and undeniably true but I do wonder how disruptive it is to sports teams.

I’ve only ever played in wholly amateur teams where the ‘all for one’ mantra has been important. Not sure how that stands up when one player is being paid 20k compared with another who is maybe getting 3K - especially if the better paid one has a shocker - but I’m sure there are a great many more exaggerated examples than at Derby.
