When they absolutely can’t, yes. But the smartest ones know who they can show it to and who not; there’s also some who aren’t particularly smart but the relationship with their managers is centered on getting friendly with the manager, and that means small chat is on whatever issues the manager brings up. If the manager never talks about sports, the same guy who spends half of each day in sports webpages doesn’t mention the word “ball” at all.
