Most people don't treat sports like that, though. Even those who do, know to shut up about their stats when talking about their sport with someone who isn't that into it. You don't say "oh, I went golfing with some friends last week" and immediately hear "I can score an 85" because that'd be obnoxious. I know there's always been people like that but it honestly feels like "competitive" play has become the norm and it didn't use to be like that.
