Best Answer

Sports is related to religion in one main way. Before games and tournaments many sports teams pray to their god for victory. Some teams have superstitions and believe that by praying before the contest they will be victorious. Some religions have certain rituals such as dancing around a fire before they engage in their respected activity. Dr. Nathan M. Hasenfratz M.D. Harvard University Graduating Class of 2000

In one case I know that there are two football players that are Muslims that had to fast for Ramadan during the training camp and couldn't eat during the day until their first NFL game of the season when Ramadan ended.

The ancient Greeks started olympic games with the Goddess Jiova at heart. The Pakistani cricket players take oath in the name of Islam before start of the game. These show a corelationship between religion and sprituality.

For most people no. Most people view sports as pure entertainment and a way to be physically fit. Sports are not a "new" or "old" religion to them
