1. A society that can have its masses afford to fill up it's stadiums with a lot of ticketholders seems to be doing OK as far as money flow.

2. A nation or region that can afford to pay its players and managment high sums of money and salary seems to be a good indicator of overall wealth.

3. Advertisers that are active in sports generate a lot of revenue and continued sales, meaning the popular masses care enough to be an issue, thus stimulating more wealth.

4. People who care to read and (increasingly more due to places like this) write and discuss sports adds to more and more sources of providing revenue and wealth opportunities.

5. Countries without these "leisure" institutions seem to do poorly, literally.
