While its modern form by the referential used in this paper, had its genesis in the 19th century in England is based on political and ideological disputes, as amateurism versus professionalism and comparison of performances between socio-economic systems, the contemporary sports, later than Cold War, comes as a new perspective, the result of changes on the marketing of culture and leisure. This object is placed as the current version of the sport, based on the market and moral values different from modern phenomenon, showing new features such as heterogeneous practices and marketing exacerbated.
