Ehm no? What person or institution or organisation do you imagine going "harrr let's get kids into sports so that they don't bother to learn about politics harr!" exactly? Because it's for sure not schools that are doing that. Most schools even teach about how politics work even.
Err, yes? Family and friends and massive amounts of peer pressure to belong. And Massive spending by the state towards such sports ofc.
Just because a government subsidises sports (for example for health benefits) does not mean there is some nefarious plot to keep the populace from being involved in politics
The government building massive stadiums for people to watch sports is not for "health benefits". Cmon now. This is typical "bread and circuses" stuff.
And it doesn't have to be a "nyah nyah nyah" twirling mustache guy thing. Fact of the matter is that the rise of professional sports just so happened to correlate to the rise of the nation state.
You've crossed into conspiracy theory territory bud. It's not entirely implausible but it is getting in the direction of "out there."
