    I was mocking the throwing the baby out with the bathwater logic of thinking that banning competition in recreation would do anything to affect actual detrimental competition. They simply aren't the same thing. Competitive sports have existed for thousands of years prior to capitalist exploitative competition. Any psychological association between the two exist because of living in capitalism, we don't live in capitalism cause of sports.

      Competition existed because scarcity existed.

      Nowadays, that scarcity is mostly man-made, and capitalism is keeping it alive by elevating competition as if it's a virtue.
