Nowhere is this overwhelming desire to win every time more blatant than in sports. Every team is judged purely on their win and loss record. Although mistakes which contribute to a loss are referenced by fans and coaches as lessons each error ultimately is viewed as a nail in the coffin of many an athlete or coach, offset by only a win of equal or greater magnitude.

I believe this is the arena in which children learn this attitude.
