Modern sport was born in England in the nineteenth century in the masculine world of “good society”.
This elitist sport became political highlighted at the Olympics in Mexico City. Its democratization, its openness to all social classes, initiated by the Olympics of Baron Coubertin and then to the women, finally accompanies the emancipation fights of the “social minorities”.
It is transformed into a mass movement that allows people to free themselves from stereotypes, prejudices, respect their partners and opponents, and ultimately live better together.
