I'm a newbie, but you seem a thoughtful bunch and I'm
curious as to where you might lead me:

I'm wondering what philosophers have to say about sport
and game as recreational activity, as something that
is good for its own sake, and in relation to divine
worship. I'm especially looking for relationships
(both like and dislike) between game and art, music or
poetry.

So far I've been looking at Josef Pieper's ideas on
leisure and work, as well as a bit of Aquinas,
Aristotle and Plato. But I'm open to any sources you
might offer. Thanks much.
