The worst people on Earth are the ones who are constantly obsessing about "winning" every situation, so that makes perfect sense to me.
Legit, I think this is why board games are a great activity when getting to know new people. Most people don't want to play with someone ultra competitive, who'll either gloat when they win, or flip the board when they lose. If someone's willing to behave that way over a game, imagine how they'd be over something that's actually important.
What about someone who is ultra competitive but also has good sportsmanship?
As long as they can identifying that "we win" is the same as "I win," that's fine. I'd invite them to join us for cooperative games.
Those seek real games, and real games are too hard and elusive to describe in rules.
