In the book, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby there is a quite a bit of references to sports that includes golf, football, and baseball. The time period the book was written in was the 1920s where a lot of people had a lot of leisure time. The people who have already been rich and never worked for it or the people worked for it and has already achieved the American Dream play sports to satisfy their boredom.
