The first factor that football is a phenomenon unparalleled, as pointed out in his post Ramón Flores, that football can be played virtually no media. This may seem silly, but it is not so. Other sports require minimum conditions to be practiced. Basketball requires a basket to height, a ball that boat and an area of more or less flat game; cycling, pardon the platitude, requires a bicycle; the tennis rackets and balls; handball also requires a ball that boat; water sports need a pool; and so much more. On the contrary, football can be played with only one ball, or something you replace more or less effectively: a ball of cloth, wadded paper or even a stone.

This is an important factor, because a game is just the set of rules that define rules that all participants assume. In this regard, it is noteworthy that football can play two on two, twenty to twenty, or even one. I played games without offside, but referee without cards in areas where played with three balls three games at once (oh, what time the school), and there is no doubt that, indeed, football was what we played.
These two factors, especially, have made that football has become an almost universal phenomenon. Today kicked footballs in all corners of the planet. I recently made a trip to Egypt, and in every neighborhood, in every vacant lot, I saw children running after a ball, playing in goals made with rags, with forty degrees in the shade. Someone will argue that these children play the sport, and not another, because television has ravaged them and convinced them to do so. I think playing soccer because it is what they can play, and also because it is …show more content…
An empty stadium is an unpleasant image. There is a need in football tier making it a live show. Without fans, without us, nothing. There are parties that wins the stands (I've seen it!) And there are others in which the followers, for their discontent, leading his team to the cruelest defeat.
It is clear that part of the follow soccer responds to the power of the media. But it is not only your responsibility. In this regard, it should be remembered that, for example, in the final of the English FA Cup 1901, when there was still no television and no radio was broadcasting the games, no less than 110,000 spectators gathered. 110,000 spectators in a match played in 1901 !. Also, the 1950 World Cup final at Maracana attended by no less than 203,849 people, and still no TV.
That is, it is true that football's popularity owes much, much to the work of the mass media, but the fact remains that that popularity precedes by far the phenomenon of the media, whose role generally tends to be exaggerated, not only on this issue. In this sense, I have always suspected that there is a tinge of contempt for the people in speeches explaining their passion only in the power of conviction of the media. I think that people are not as dumb as we tend to think, and when something like, there are deeper reasons than just "brainwashing" of the
