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
religion affects sports participation because if a game was on a holy day i.e. football on Sunday might get in the way of worship but most religions support the idea healthy body = healthy mind

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.
Religion can affect sport, because in Scotland Celtic and Rangers are rivals in football. Celtic are catholic and Rangers are protestants and that's one of the reasons why their rivals.
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
