- urbanisation- movement of people from rural to urban areas
In the post industrial era sports began to be more rationalised. This started with the Industrial Revolution seeing the poor working conditions of factories rising. The conditions were seen to be harsh, there was a limit of free time and cruelness which shone therefore bringing in a legislation of the 10 hour work act.
This act meant there would be an increased amount of time for the working class meaning an experience of freedom. Furthermore a lot of urbanisation was appearing meaning there was less space for mob games to appear causing a decrease. However it made sport far more accessible to the broader population so there was a need for standardised rules and a formalised structure ensuring fairness and clarity in competitions e.g. football.
Due to all of this it meant spectation could take place which involved the building of stadiums in which the merging of games and activities occurred. In addition to this schools brought a huge impact in this especially stage 1 of boy culture which reviewed boys from different areas of the world merging sports together using the method of a melting pot where there were discussions and ideas were shared which eventually reviewed the aspects of each boy in creating the best activity.
Moreover there was other things such as transport and education being reviewed leading to populising rationalisation. For example improvement to the transport system was made meaning a wider network could travel and watch. Also education was heavily required as rules began to fall in to place so illiteracy rates needed to decrease.
Due to all of the this the working conditions improved as the factory acts fell in to place and in work it was so clear how much happier workers were leading to the building of factory teams and better relationships in general.
