We "do sports" for alot of reasons. A list would be inconsequential if competition were evil. All of the reasons would then be evil reasons.
We never know who is The Fittest™. Both competition and cooperation demonstrate a specific and limited fitness. We can use either for good or for evil - neither of which are a measure of biological fitness in the first place.
Again, though, it's not necessary to argue your good or bad making properties. Sin in your telling is the urge to mate...not the competition or the cooperation that urge may engender. If we cooperated out of the urge to mate, we would be cooperating by compulsion of sin. If we compete out of the urge to mate, we compete by the compulsion of sin. Sin is the thing that compels, not the circumstance it happens in, or the action it causes.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
