Before we understand sports it's very essential to understand the importance of societies as well. I've already discussed the history of sports going back to the Ancient Olympics in Greece and then the Gladiatorial games in Rome.

• Like any other civilization, Greek civilization also fell and then came the Romans. Romans gave to the world an 'emblem' to the modern world in the form of the gargantuan edifice created by them for the purpose of sports, known to the world as the 'Colosseum'.
• The technology to build this stadium is evidenced by not only the structure standing, but also the planning involved in doing so. I'll deliberate over the Colosseum in some other blog, but right now I'll focus on technology instead. So, when a civilization collapses, the transfer of technology doesn't take place as facilely. And, the development of sports came to a standstill after the collapse of Romans, and revived  truly only in the 19th century.
• The technology used by Romans in building structures like Circus Maximus is somewhere taken from the Greeks as well. If you compare the images of the two then a few major similarities could be observed. Learning about civilizations, their behaviors is like a key to understanding sports.
• Centuries later after the decline of Roman Civilization, Europe went to Dark Age. But, once they began reading, began learning of the ways of Ancient Greeks and Romans, the technology came in and thus, came a period known as Renaissance.
• This term Renaissance holds in it, an entire concept. In our cricket frenzy nation, today hockey is in a pathetic condition. It's not just the game of a particular state only, all the states have to, they need to participate just like cricket. So, Sports also requires a Renaissance in our country.
