Summary/Abstract: Emerging from the game of man and his wish, but also the need, for Agon, sport has orbited from politics towards the economy and vice versa and has been left devoid of game but at the same time it has grown into something more than a game. Its at-tributes, such as health, socialization, and education, and the attributes promoted through and for them – sporting chivalry, sporting ideals, and the motto that the most important thing is to take part – have all become old-fashioned to an extent and sub-stituted by new ones. Money and political utilitarianism as the new attributes of sport in some of its segments are based on the slogan of the mighty and the haughty – the end justifies the means.
