    The US is a sporting giant but has no Ministry of Sports. It's a scientific superpower but has no Ministry of Science and Technology

        Yet the US makes massive public expenditures in both sports and science. So what does the lack of a federal ministries tell us?

        You're right in saying one doesn't need a ministry to excel in a field. My point too.

        @efalchuk would the National Science Foundation be a functional equivalent to a Ministry of Science?

        Finally its evident that sport just like science & technology can be managed by professionals better without a political agenda.

        Sports in Africa is purely a political & popularity agenda, it's not about the sportsmanship, but election relevance.

        The US prefers an interlocking network of Departments, Agencies, Administrations which often compete or collaborate.
