    Why should we be teaching competitiveness? That’s how you turn society into individuals who only look out for their own needs and are apathetic when you do things like a fascist coup. Oh wait…

    Nah, I’d much rather be teaching kids cooperation.

    (Sports are still great, but not for the reason of teaching competitiveness).

      Competition is literally the basis of almost every sport. How would hockey, for example, be played without competition?

        I’m saying we shouldn’t teach competitiveness as a value in and of itself. Competition in sports is fine.
