> First off, you can have competition and cooperation. Given existence of an impartial referee, fair conditions and no metagame. Capitalism is not just competition, it is literally a fight for one's life. An unfair one, given corruption and marketing metagames. Even your sports example breaks down in seconds. The team won't get funded unless it brings attention to feed marketing companies that funnel money into the team. You can absolute metagame European football with financial injection (heated lawn to practice off-season, buying better players, trainer, doping and so on).
