The study offers an integrated approach to perception of modern sports as a socially important phenomenon. The approach is based on a retrospective analysis of the global sport progress and the sport culture contribution to the social and economic development worldwide within the certain evolutionary stages. Further philosophical analyses of the modern sport sector may help define the sports on the whole and their specific disciplines in particular as independent research subjects, with a special attention given to the metaphysical and axiological status of sports and the relevant internal and external factors of influence on the consumer demand and behaviour in the sport sector. We offered a set of criteria to define the status of modern sports in the socio-economic system with a special emphasis on a functionality-based approach to the sports; and developed on this basis a classification of the social functions of sports. The philosophical and sociological approaches to the studies of modern sports make it possible to identify their consumer values in the modern world. Based on the available approaches to classification of the modern sport values, we offer to give a key role to those of them that are the most important for a consumer personality and, hence, the most influential on the consumer behaviours in the sport sector.

Keywords: sports, consumer values of sports, sport evolution in social world, social functions of sports, criteria of sport status, sport as socially important phenomenon.
