Football also is American culture's greatest spectacle, the primary sporting focus of homecoming and holiday celebrations and one of the country's most prominent façades to the world.
From the beginning, football's proponents argued that the rugged athleticism, the near-savage violence, and the technically demanding teamwork required by the sport provided both a necessary masculine tonic to a post-Frontier American society and a valuable training ground for the future captains of modern industry.
Football's popularity helps make the sport a symbolic battle field in American "culture wars." For its proponents, football provides the ideal proving ground for young men to test and develop their manhood, instilling values such as teamwork and self-reliance.
