 Shakespeare in Sports
Although the word “sport” is used frequently by Shakespeare, he doesn’t use it in the sense of “an activity involving physical exertion and skill, [especially] one in which an individual competes against another or others to achieve the best performance,” a meaning that had been in use from early in the sixteenth century (OED).
Instead, he uses sport to describe, among others, a diversion, pastime, amusement or pleasure; a jest; hunting; war and fighting; gambling; “amourous dallying”; and, in a usage specific to the late sixteenth-century, a play or theatrical performance (Schmidt 1104-05).
Considering how prominent sports are in North American educational institutions, advertising, and popular culture in general, it is not surprising that modern adaptations have found expression through sports.

 Stefan Landsberger's Chinese Propaganda Poster Pages--Sports
In Imperial China, sports seem to have been an elite activity which was not held in high esteem.
Training the body, or taking part in sports, was not merely seen as promoting the people's health, national defense and production, but also as inspiring the collective work spirit necessary for the national unity which was considered a prerequisite to national construction.
The ideal athlete in the 1960s was unwavering in ideology, kept up his or her physical fitness under all conditions, mastered the game, did not spare him- or herself in training, and went all out in competition, to bring glory to China (wu guo ying, "be tough in five respects").

Key contributions: a fine grained view of the true diversity in backgrounds of the men and women in our armed services, an on-the-ground view of negotiations between men and women as soldiers and sexual beings, and a critical view of the mission-compromising lack of local language capability in the U.S. military.
