Following the overwhelming victory of Real Madrid and Barcelona on the opening day, the fire alarms with severity jumped at the prospect of our league is sent back to risk of burning the duopoly ruling, which immediately seems to widen every year. The equal sharing of television rights is the most listened to as a shield against the power of two, but behind the juicy portion are Real Madrid and Barcelona lies a root problem that concerns the unique way that has Spain to live football.
Often generalize usually leads to error. But it is clear that many football fans in Spain are in the city to be sympathize with Real Madrid and Barcelona. - What team are you? -From Malaga - Yeah, well what the Málaga? This is a common conversation among football fans, and something not seen in any other country where everyone is a fan of the team of their land. As I said, it is wrong to generalize and in some cases, such as Seville or Bilbao, the fan remains loyal to the team in your area, but in many others, are one of the two major, and often in greater extent.
This means that the many fans of the teams shoot in Spain for Real Madrid and Barcelona. You not only have the fans of two great cities, but many followers in all the Spanish geography. The difference with the rest of fans is immense. This is reflected in the number of viewers who expect to see their team when they tune into the television. The latter, who lives on the hearings and will not throw stones at his own roof, distributed according to the teams that most people watching television will provide. Not that I look good, but I see it logical.
In other countries, this is unthinkable. Obviously some teams like Manchester or Chelsea in England are more attractive to the viewer neutral. But a resident of Sunderland Sunderland will always be a follower of his team but go down to the third tier of British football. There will be a fan of Arsenal or Liverpool. This causes the interest to follow the various teams themselves more dependent on population density, with the audience and the cast are equal, too. A follower of Wigan Wigan wants to see rather than to Manchester, much as Ferguson's team contains more stars on its payroll.
Moreover, the lack of interest in some cities by his team is evident not only in the audience, but also in attendance at the stadiums. While in England we can easily see a West Bromwich Albion - Stoke City with the capacity to complete the league we see some games between teams of middle and low reach barely half. And that is not to blame television or the cast.
While the general interest of amateur white shirts and pursue the Catalans, who pays will fatten the accounts of those who provide more revenues. And while the media only to echo the news of the two, the solution will move away even more. There are two questions that complement and form an infinite loop in which one makes noise, and another puts a megaphone to be heard with even greater intensity. If it is established custom among young Spanish people be Real Madrid or Barcelona, the media contribute to the duopoly bicefalia information by poking the eyes from childhood.
If the loop is not broken by any of its links, the differences will continue to grow year after year. If something seems clear that broadcasters continue to be paid more generously to a larger audience who provide and newspapers continue trying to sell as many copies. The solution lies in who demand, who tunes the TV or buy a newspaper every morning. We demand a better league where all teams have their share of limelight. In this case, the customer is always right.
