They always had a bunch of men clubs, but the focus to sportmanship mainly started during the Industrial Revolution, principally due to the secularizing influence of the French Revolution. Before that they used to be involved in more gentlemany activities that involved seafaring or religious activities. Also the English has always been a sucker for the country and since sports were mostly related to hunting during the Early Modern Period, it fits. Other nations always liked the cities more than the countries, like the French.

If you want to be pedantic about it you might rather see this as a German win in form of a reminder that your royals are in fact German.
Anyway, the real problem with this isn't "le nationalist" dissent between fellow basement dwelling subhumans posting on 4chan but acknowledgment of royalty as some institution worth keeping around. Although, maybe the bloke behind it thought it wise to congratulate you lot on the death of another charlatan :^)

Industrial Revolution creating both wealth and free time to pursue leisure activities. Also supported a robust media class to document, publicize, and lionize sporting events. The man deemed The Father of Baseball never played, coached, or founded any organization. He was a British journalist who developed the game's statistics and scorekeeping.

Sports came before the industrial revolution. Football predates the industrial revolution by about 400 years. Cricket by about 200. Even Rugby split off from football before the industrial revolution

Forest law. 80% of these games you're hitting something with a wooden stick, the British love their forests you got Robin Hood for example, the other 20% like soccer you have wooden goal posts
They had the natural resources to craft these games they had the materials most other countries had only stone or mud

Anglo countries reached a devlopment where people achieved self-actualisation first
Actually every english speaking country plays multiple sports and invented some of their own
No other society did. By the time they reached a point where sports were on their radar, anglo sports were established.
The entirety of european and latinx sporting culture is essentially just mimicking south london chavs

That's cos in catholic countries the authorities didn't want you to be literate so they can hold more power and control over you
Something about that and the roots of corruption in catholic countries
So you couldn't think of a game if you were psychologically beaten to death by the child raping priests

The Greeks invented nothing. The modern Olympics were revived because a Frenchman visited England saw locals having a glorified school sports day, and thought it wonderful. Half of the sports you think are ancient are a modern - mostly British - invention. The shot put comes from the Highland Games, and even the marathon is defined according to ANGLO standards.
