Interesting, so to extend the metaphor - in the game of soccer it's the scoring of goals that matters, not the raw physical stamina of the player, but if that facade of civilized competition breaks down, then it's back to the basics.

In sports, and in life in general, there's all sorts of extra rules that make activities interesting and/or prevent them from decaying into violence. Playing for keeps - like, really, seriously, going for the win no matter what, is universally frowned upon and basically a telltale sign of dangerously pathological sociopathy.
