Women lust over star football/basketball/soccer/baseball players. Men lust over female gymnastics and volleyball players, but that is less seen and socially accepted since it is creepy for men, but I would not say it is the main reason why.
Since sports are just modern day coliseum that allow people to regularly vent their emotions through tribalism. It functions as a recruitment area for frats and other groups. Angry at life, well it is socially acceptable to express that anger or dissatisfied feelings to people who support the opposing team. Your team won, come join this party.
The potentially sexual part would be the audience might be able to interact with the winning team and form relationships with them.
>Team X just won, want to party
>Team X might be at our party
>Come join
It starts with high school players representing a school. Then college teams representing a county/cities/ portions of states. Then the major or national organization representing entire states. Lastly it is the Olympics, but I would not count them since they only happen once every few years.
Once it reaches the college level, that is where you might see middle class participate in these entertainment events. Some college football tickets cost $30 per person. It is a great place to recruit middle class people to your little degenerate club.
