Let’s pump the brakes a little on that.
Human beings are not about to get tired of watching other human beings perform incredible physical feats.
The Spanish Flu killed 50M people, and after it went away (and it did go away) in April 1920, Babe Ruth celebrated by starting to play for the New York Yankees.

The disappearance of sport to the point of a niche hobby?
No.
The Colosseum in Rome is only 70 years younger than Christianity.
Maybe we should try building ours to last a little longer than 40 years.
