In post-industrial societies, the elements of play in sports are given what priority?

In post-industrial societies, the elements of play in sports often receive low priority due to the increasing emphasis on competition, commercialism, and professionalization. As sports have become more commercialized, the focus tends to shift towards performance, winning, and generating revenue, rather than the intrinsic enjoyment and playful aspects of the activity. The structured and organized nature of sports in these societies often prioritizes outcomes and regulations over the spontaneous and playful engagement that defines play. Consequently, this trend leads to a diminishing of the pure playfulness traditionally associated with sports, resulting in a lower priority being placed on the elements of play within the context of sports culture.
