Their point is that while toxic players were DISPROPORTIONATELY toxic employees, it's not the case that a MAJORITY of toxic players were toxic employees.

Sorry, I see what you are saying, and I wasn't (intentionally) complaining that 1/4 isn't 1/2 or so. Rather, that the stat only tells us that when you look at toxic employees you find toxic players, rather than vice-versa.

The cited statistic doesn't tell you anything of the kind. It tells you that toxic employees are by and large (~75%) not toxic players, and the following sentence repeats that toxic employees aren't always toxic players.

That followup sentence also supplementally tells you that the sweep of toxic employees happened to catch most of the toxic players. That information is unrelated to the given statistic.
