For every supporter who is passionate & obsessive about his/her club, there is a supporter who has a love for the game itself rather than for a specific team.

I personally enjoy watching Spanish football, and although there are clubs that i favour (Barcelona & Villareal) I enjoy watching it for the quality and technique of the football, and the emphasis on all out attacking play that is sometimes missing from other top leagues such as Serie A and the Premiership. Who actually wins La Liga is of no real importance to me.

There are many people who have a general love of Football as an entertaining sport and do not subscribe to the tribal rivalries that engulf others, and instead have preferences for teams just like people who like tennis may have preferences for Rafa Nadal or Andy Murray etc.

Football clubs have been a way for communities to forge a collective identity that may otherwise have been difficult to foster. In Scotland, Celtic & Hibernian were formed by the respective Irish Catholic immigrant communities in Glasgow & Edinburgh as a way to raise money for their communities and to create a sense of solidarity in a society where they were some felt persecuted & discriminated against.

Perhaps the most famous example of this community pride in a football team is Fútbol Club Barcelona. The club is a Catalan institution with a proud motto of Més que un club (more than a club). The club came to be a striking symbol of Catalan independence during the years of Franco ruled Spain and their stadium the Camp Nou was one of the few places where the Catalan language could be spoken during this era.
