Your boss comes to you and says "hey, we need you to put in a half-a$$ effort for the next few weeks. Write some bad articles, design some really bad artwork, make sure your videos are crap. There's a small chance that this will help our organization 3 or 4 years from now." Everyone will still know it's your work and you can't tell them why you've done such a lousy job. Oh and btw, maybe the new guy takes your job in the end.

Are you serious?
Pro athletes and coaches are like race horses. They only know how to GO. Players will never (read: should never) give half ass efforts because that will damage their personal potential for monetary gain on future contracts. Coaches don't know how to coach to lose.
The group of fans who are advocating for tanking are saying things like rest every single veteran, call up all the minor league scrubs, and play your backup and third goalies. Better yet, trade away your stars for volume of picks/players and rebuild at the same time.
No one's industry is regulated like pro sports is, so your comparison is just silly. No one has a guaranteed contract, and you can't be traded to your competitor by your boss LOL.
