   Marketing, the great value siphon. Marketing adds NOTHING of value of the world.

      The sport wouldn't be as popular or have as much funding. The reason football is where it is because of marketing.

      This can be extended to all other sports. A sport needs to be easy to follow and easy to advertise with to get funding. Being able to practice it cheaply on a grass-roots level helps.
