I suppose that people perceive the difference between a sports club
and Mensa in that you usually join a sports club because it benefits
and helps with your hobby, ie. there are practical benefits in joining,
while joining Mensa is (perceived by most people as) just a badge of
honor which you can tout about, with no useful or practical purpose
other than bragging.

(And let me emphasize that's not what I think. It's just how most
people perceive it.)

Also, feeling inferior in mental capacity is a much more touchy
subject than feeling inferior eg. in soccer or throwing a javelin.
