I disagree, I do think there is good reason for the federal government to fund sports.
The Olympic games are good for international relations, and it ties generations of people together like few things can. It's good for business too, which the government is able to tax. Never before (as far as I can remember) has a national sports team been a partisan issue, so it's a new thing to view it from this light. National teams that compete in international federations/leagues are a good investment in American youth as well.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
