Not only does sports help the economy but it brings the world together. For instance, look at the world cup. Over 5 billion views across the world to watch soccer. To compare the latest NFL playoffs had 37 million. Sports matter everywhere no matter where you are. Where you come from. If you come from money or from poverty.
