I do appreciate this suggestion also because I think that sport influences directly the community life. It is also a metter of importance in the SDGs. To quote the UN:
“Sport has proven to be a cost-effective and flexible tool in promoting peace and development objectives. Since the inception of the MDGs in 2000, sport has played a vital role in enhancing each of the eight goals, a fact which has been recognized in numerous Resolutions of the General Assembly. In the Declaration of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development sport’s role for social progress is further acknowledged:
“Sport is also an important enabler of sustainable development. We recognize the growing contribution of sport to the realization of development and peace in its promotion of tolerance and respect and the contributions it makes to the empowerment of women and of young people, individuals and communities as well as to health, education and social inclusion objectives.”

Creating jobs is challenging, expecially in developing realities. A, businesses can sometimes face obstacles in striving to achieve high environmental and social standards in regions that may not have a strong regulatory foundation and rule of law.
I read the article, it is very interesting because it shows how both UNESCO and Cultural Time assess and quantifies the contribution of cultural and creative industries to economic growth.
I do agree with your perspective: art can really help creating jobs if exploited in the reight way as South Africa is doing.
