My grandfather was a diehard Liverpool fan, and was so upset when I of my three brothers was a Chelsea fan, the only I'm the family. At his funeral, you'll ever walk alone was played as he was brought in and I've always felt the swellings of emotion whenever I hear the song... But when I first heard Bortus singing it on my all time favourite show completely out of the blue, I was so overcome with emotion I burst into tears, something my partner had never really seen from me before. In explaining it to her, we both carried on throughout the episode and once it was over, rewinded it back to sing along with Bortus in honour of my grandfather, who's signature I have tattooed on my arm for good luck and as a badge of honour
Or he's a fan of "Carousel" by Rodgers and Hammerstein.
Or Gerry and Pacemakers :-)

There are definitely sports. People play sports for fun. They have for way longer than capitalisms been around.
Have you heard of Sunday League, or if you're from the States, a Beer League?
Some people just enjoy sports for fun.
Sure, but there's no drive to succeed because it sets you/your family up with millions of dollars.
There's always the Galactic Football League. Novels by Scott Sigler.
They are not post-scarcity.

Song was around a century before Liverpool started singing it
