Which sociological theory believes that sports are a mass opiate? Functionalism Conflict theory Critical theories Interactionist theory

The correct answer is conflict theory

Social conflict theory proposes that social systems are essentially divided into two sides or social groups, the ruling class and the working class, and that these two groups will be in constant conflict given their inherent natures.

The reason for the conflict, in Marx's view, is the almost timeless division of society by wealth and power. The ruling class ultimately controls the legal and political institutions, as well as the power of manufacture and production.
