From the time they are boys, males will compete for supremacy in sports, games and any type of competition where there are winners and losers. Men want to win because their ego feeds on it. It only gets worse when they become adults. They may no longer play board games but they are competitive in business and they take the same winners/losers approach, as they try to vanquish their rivals so they can inflate their ego. This male need for conquest has heaped pain and suffering on the world around them. Wars are fought and lives are destroyed all in the male quest to satisfy the male ego. The business world has become a war zone as companies eat up weaker companies all in the name of male conquest.

Men associate themselves with sports teams (college, pro and even high school) as sports become an extension of war. The fight to be number one corrupts the purity of healthy athletic competition, as the male ego must be the best. Win at all costs becomes the goal, not the virtues of teamwork and sportsmanship. The appeal and the following of male professional sports, college sports and high school sports are to satisfy the male ego to be number one. Women sports are very competitive but they do not enjoy the same fanatical following as male sports because they are void of the male ego. Men gain their worth and pride from being number one, be it an endeavor that they participate in personally or be it from a team to whom they pledge their alliance.
