The Workers' Sports Movement

The Workers' Sports Movement was a social and political effort in the early 20th century aimed at promoting physical activity, teamwork, and health among industrial workers. It emerged as part of broader labor and socialist movements, emphasizing sports as a means to foster solidarity, discipline, and political consciousness among workers. This movement often organized its own clubs, competitions, and training programs, challenging traditional sports dominated by elites. Overall, it sought to empower workers both physically and socially, using sports as a tool for community building and advocating for workers' rights and equality.
