	Football media in the UK...
		This social class attends football matches in greater and greater numbers, and also tends to exercise greater and greater cultural power in relation to national mediation of football culture.
		The people who write in the new football magazines will discuss aspects of football culture with their friends, and with other members of their class, and use these common perspectives as a reflection of the social changes which are taking place.
		And, it is the football fanzine which provides the historical bridge between the older, modern football moment, and the current situation, within the new fashionability of football culture.

	iranian.com: Nasser Amin, Football and flags
		Throughout the 20th century, football competition served to aid the awareness of Italian nationhood, from a position in the early part of the last century when it was acutely compromised by factionalism and regional allegiances.
		For many, a function of sport is to provide a form of therapy: football is a diversion from the harsh realities and complexities of life, an escape into a dream-world where heroic characters delight and inspire with their skill, ingenuity and success.
		Football is a distractive pastime, which satiates a human need for amusement and leisure, especially in hard times, yet has no power of its own accord to change the world.

	Football media in the UK...
		A further reflection of this anti-bourgeois dimension of fanzine culture, is its humour.
		I am speaking especially of journalists and writers and media personalities, who have started to earn a living on the basis of their involvement in the football culture, who have sought to identify with the football culture, and have used this as a mechanism for reaching new markets within their 'knowledge industry'.
		In the case of the 'cultural intermediaries', who are employed through their cultural association with football; in the case of people like Hornby and Doyle, we must not begin to call them even supporters.
