El fútbol como fenómeno social bajo influencia de los medios

Abstract

The game that was born as an unequivocal expression of the human need for leisure and recreation has had an uncertain start and a transit that a little identity has given him. This work aims to during offer a historical look first soccer around the world since its genesis, evolution, and development and then focus on their treatment in the Ecuadorian field. This game, beyond the mysticism that surrounds the persecution, possession and release of the ball as a fundamental element of soccer, had never reached the level of development that today, if not for the support of circumstances and factors that have nurtured and molded over time to the King of sports. One of those key elements of support have been the media, which by its capacity and unlimited effect have been responsible turn soccer into a true social phenomenon under his influence. In addition, in this work we have tried to open the debate so that soccer is treated beyond the simple playing field.
