The rise of modern sports is a product of the globalization of culture. This process is driven by transnational corporations that have sought to sell every kind of product to every reachable consumer. As a result, sports have been marketed as symbols of power, prestige, and pleasure.

During the 20th century, various social movements emerged to transform sports. These movements challenged the masculine stereotypes associated with sports. As a result, sports have come to be viewed as a medium for creating extreme raw emotion and joy. It has also been a tool for bringing fans of different cultures together.
