Cycling might be.

Cycling the sport isn’t. The sheer volume of support cars, media cars, motorbikes at every race is utter insanity.

sportwashing

For the folks too lazy to look it up:

Sportswashing is a term used to describe the practice of individuals, groups, corporations, or governments using sports to improve reputations tarnished by wrongdoing. A form of propaganda, sportswashing can be accomplished through hosting sporting events, purchasing, or sponsoring sporting teams, or participating in a sport.
