Climbing for example has a wildly different atmosphere. Just listen to the crowd in this or read the YouTube comments, people are supportive when several women have disappointing results. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfhGW6Bwyks
People will complain about the route setting or camerawork not the athletes, that’s a shocking amount of empathy IMO.
I was rather fond of practicing team sports as a kid, but I found the culture off putting for the same reasons
Some people just can't behave, adults weren't even much better than your regular kid
If life has taught me anything, it's that the notion of adults being emotional mature is a joke.
I've seen numerous grown people suddenly turn into a character from Mean Girls instantly after a petty slight.
It may be that some level of toxic behavior is inescapable when humans release their tribal competition instinct. And if team sports is construed as a war-replacement, perhaps it is a better (though not perfect) mechanism to absorb that toxicity.
Maybe there are better-still options to absorb tribal toxicity, bit I can’t think of any off the top of my head.
