Organized competitive sports has led to diplomatic sports-washing for modern slavery, massive fraud, and imposition of niche competitive rules as general law in society to the detriment of all.

However I don't think put thing in other thing to get points will be going away soon. So humans better find a way to healthily relate to friendly competition in the next century. Instead of whatever this is, where the Olympics and other large events are largely a means of fucking things up instead of fostering peace and well being.

Which makes me wonder... Are there serious anthropological or social analyses of the role of sports generally by critical scholarship and egalitarian social theorists which tackle these issues?
