I have friends that are very involved in sports and I don't exactly get it but I don't think the anyone (ie. Romans) is controling any of them. I don't even think that society puts much emphasis on games. It is more probably just human nature. The phenomenon used to be called mobism or mobocracy.
However, there is also the thought that in order to try and fix bad behavior the education system tried to instill values like being proud of who you are, no matter what you are, that we have some of the most self adjusted criminals in the world now. Self esteem is good but only if it helps others and yourself behave responsibly.
