Almost no one goes to college in the US to play a sport. Even a lot of people who go to college to play a sport (D3 athletes) don't get any kind of tangible benefit from it(e.g. salary, tuition reduction, course credits, etc).

I didn't mean that - I mean people applying for I don't know engineering or whatever having to compete by showing how good their extra-curriculars were.

Ah. That's more common, but also not required. Usually colleges will be looking for extra curriculars, of which sports might be one. But it would be just as well or maybe even better to be part of a debate club, the school newspaper, etc.
