Football

Participation:
Firstly, looking at the graph above shows how many players were in the Premier League and the numbers of how many British footballers play within the League, this has somewhat declined by around 50% over the last 17-18 years. This starting from 500 in 1992/93 and then decreasing to 262 in the 2009/2010 season. Football has increased and decreased in some areas, overall there are more numbers than that of the league in 1992/93 but the numbers of British participants have decreased due to the influx of foreign players. British ratio, all ages shows that the number of British players had also declined throughout the years, this resulting in a lack of role models for younger generations to look up to within the UK. Also, whilst female participation has increased over the years, the male participation has dropped.

With the current financial cuts in football, I believe that the amount for spending for foreign players will decrease, giving time for young British talent to come through the clubs and increase these numbers for the future, benefitting many players as they can play with some great players who are already in the league. I believe that there has been a slight decline in British players participation due to the fact that racism has been highlighted throughout the country, situations like Luis Suarez and Patrice Evra and the snub of a handshake, and the alleged John Terry and Anton Ferdinand situation. This could have prevented parents from encouraging their children from all ethnic backgrounds from getting involved in football.

This screen shot above shows all the links which involve football on skysports. It shows many other leagues (Bundesliga, La Liga and Serie A) etc.

Media Coverage:
Football has plenty of media coverage throughout the United Kingdom and a massive deal around the world, newspapers, magazines, news, radio and especially the TV are the main ways people find out about football being played on certain days and times, there is also a breakdown of each game, this providing information to the fans. Football is the most media covered sport in the world, this results in the sport with a very large through media coverage, as you can see in the graph (right), as you can see in 1992/93 season until 1996/97 the media income was 191m compared to the 2010/11 2012/13 revenue of 1.782bn, this is has increase by around 1.500BN over the last 18 years due to more channels and demand from the footballing population. Premier League clubs take around 595m.

There are Channels such as; BBC1, ITV1, ITV2, Channel5, Skysports, EuroSport etc. These show live matches from many leagues and even international matches.
