Sports is a competition, and it's had much more of an impact than Music has.
Debatable.
Of course it can be debatable.
Music and Sports are two very different things that are essential for humans.
All cultures utilize Games, Sports, and Music within their cultural customs.
Music is utilized within Sports, Queen's "We Will Rock You" is known because of the way it's utilized in Sports to pep up the players and to give the fans a sense of inclusion in the sports game being played. It's the same sense of inclusion like when bands have vocal moments that can be sung by the audience. The end of TCOT, or Iron Maiden and their Woah's.
But, Since sports is dealing with more physicality and shows the strength of the human body, that is why it is seen as more impactful than music. Because of that dominance a human has over another human.
It's like saying...Are you playing for the love of the game and the sport, or are you playing for the competition to be known as the best human who plays the game, the GOAT. Same with music, are you playing for the love of music, or are you playing to be known as the best musician known to man, the GOAT.
With this, I attribute and relate it to Fandom. In are you a fan due to the love of the game and the sport, a fan due to the love of music, or are you a fan because the person/band is the GOAT.
Such as how most Metalheads view Metal as the greatest thing to ever grace music while shunning other forms of music. The same way fans of one team shun the other teams, yet they are both part of the same game and sport. Yet, the one who is a fan due to the love of the game/music, you would enjoy the way each team plays the sport, how each genre plays it's part in music.
In the end, it's about fun, but also there is such a thing as serious fun. And humans can take that fun too seriously where it becomes more than a game and turns into a sport such as Kumate', a game played for one's life. Or in the terms of Crossroads, battling the devil in a guitar duel to win one's soul.
In other words, Fans are the worst sometimes when it comes to appreciating music or the game, and fans do tend to take it too far. That is what I consider to be Idolism and not beneficial at all, it's detrimental as that Idolism blends the line between fun and seriousness of the game and/or music. An example in music could be the Classical Music Enthusiasts and their sense of Elitism. When understanding music and those composers, I guarantee that Mozart and the like would be down to throw in some Trap Beats and go hard with the Double Bass.
It's a very fascinating topic....
