Spain's Olympic Team and The Abilene Paradox


The Spanish basketball team before going to the Olympics - supposedly their sponsor suggested they do this, a client paying them money, but still....each of them thought this was ok? I mean I am sure they individually thought this was stupid, but what didn't any one player object? Group Think is the inability to handle disagreement, but the Abilene Paradox is the inability to handle agreement, as in, "why did we do this even thought we all individually object to it?"
