Against idolatry of „sporting sacred“: A defense of spirituality of sport
Original language description
A term that has recently appeared in literature is 'sporting sacred' as an attempt to explain extremely powerful experiences in the area of sport. The paper criticizes this interpretation from a perspective that considers the description of the profane sphere as sacred as a sign of idolatry. The meaning of the term sacred refers not only to experiential and social dimensions of a religious event, but also an ontological otherness (ancient Greek 'hieros'). Therefore, extremely powerful experiences in the sports environment may be considered transformative (peak, flow, holotropic) but not sacred. For the purposes of analyzing the sports environment, the text uses the term 'implicit religion' which combines the profane and the sacred using spiritual transcendence, without the religious dimension of hierophany being necessarily present.
