I have a similar attitude toward hiring those who've played team sports.  I shy away from those who've never been part of a team at a competitive level.  My workplace is a team effort and I can't take a chance on someone who hasn't been part of a team.  [/quote]

So you're in a field that requires a lot of hand-eye coordination? That employees be able-bodied?[/quote]

Not the PP, but the ability to be part of a team is key in many workplaces. There's not a lot of benefit to hiring the worker who is only out for himself.

No, but there are plenty of people who played team sports who are nonetheless selfish assholes, and plenty of people who are great at collaboration who don't play team sports.

I *know* it is a sacred tenet among some people that playing team sports makes you a "team player," but that doesn't make it so.

Laxbros achieve professional success? Think about explanations other than earned achievement.[/quote]

There are exceptions to every rule, but I've had a lot of luck sticking with people who've played team sports.  Those who didn't tend to was out at some point.  This is especially true among women, so I'm not just talking lax bros.  [/quote]
