People love sports analogies but in a game, you can only win or lose. You can lose by 1 point or by 100 and its still a loss, so taking excessive risk and getting blown out is not as costly as the business world. You can always lose more money in business and I think managers and people sometimes miss this aspect because they are blinded by the "competitive spirit" aspect. Sometimes quitting is the optimal business strategy.
