Sports are battle simulations much like the gladiatorial contests of
ancient Rome.  The only difference is that the participants of today's
sports contests are more likely to survive.  Bicycle races are similar
except the participants sometimes engage in limited combat.

I think you over simplify. I well remember tree climbing contests when
I was in grade school and the girls had rope skipping contests.
And the Olympic "games" that dated back to something like 770 BCE were
initially a religious affair.

I believe it is more accurate to say that mankind has an inborn desire
to be first. In whatever activity, not solely war.
