In Ancient Rome, fullers were held in higher social regard than the athletes. Literal clothes washing guilds were more esteemed within society than athletes because of how essential they were to society. Athletes like today were often slaves or at the same time overpaid freemen.

There is a good reason why actors, jugglers and other entertainers were on the same social level as whores, pimps and slaves since Ancient Rome. Their job is to do their little song and dance, take their money and fuck off. No one gives a shit about their opinions on politics or anything else. Even mingling with entertainers was considered a sign of poor taste and could greatly harm a person's reputation. Today's society caring about thoughts and ideas of ball kickers, dick suckers and play-pretenders is a very telling sign of it's degradation.
