Your criticism is valid, but something does not need to have been deliberate for those in power to take advantage of it. Sports serve much the same purpose in secular society as rituals do in religion. Also, the sport calendar can be used to time communications, particularly those w/ a populist message. Natural events are used this way fortuitously all the time (storms, natural disasters, 9/11, etc.) |
