Something that is important in both past and modern sports is transportation. The industrial revolution is when a large change came about, with the introduction of trains and subways. This made it easier for teams and fans to attend games. It also allowed teams to travel further to play more schools. Today, fans are easily able to attend games, and students are able to take school buses to schools that are hours away. Students drive to school, stay late for practice, and drive home. Some students even transfer schools to be able to play on a better team.
Another thing is rules. The basics of the way different games are played have pretty much stayed the same, but other regulations have occurred as time progressed. Many rules have developed over time as we learned more and more about the human body and the damages that can be done to it through physical sports. For instance, it is illegal to use your head in football. Schools have established regulations for weather, it is only acceptable to have so many practices, and so on.
