Yes and no.

Sports were developed as a healthy outlet for competition. Media takes them, hypes them up, and sells them to the masses as a way to distract them.

Distract from important issues. I am sure you know plenty of people who would rather watch sportsball than take time to analyze geopolitics.

Not just distract but it teaches us division, us vs them. Fill up your time with nonsense and you have a little less time for reality.
