One thing I find interesting about modern board game culture is how many people consider it wrong to learn how to play a game well, e.g., in response to a question about how often people read about strategy, every response (so far) is "basically never", with multiple people considering reading about strategy to be cheating and/or at ruining the game for other people.
I don't think I've ever played a sport where this was the dominant attitude, and of course it's also not for chess/go/bridge/etc.
