What really is what we now call "sport"? Although ubiquitous, it remains a little-understood phenomenon, and, always, above reproach, can enjoy a favorable or otherwise indulgent public opinion. However, in sports almost nothing is, as it seems. The book therefore uses a rigorous analysis of the sociological, anthropological and historical aspects that characterize the sport among the less known, but definitely more, interesting, to denounce the great mystification. From the free form of amusement, in fact, over the course of time it becomes a tool of propaganda and indoctrination, commercial phenomenon, duplication of alienating work, expedient for malfeasance, a mere passivizing spectacle and new religion
