中文摘要:本论文的研究内容是英国足球现状。英国是现代足球的发源地，经过一百多年的岁月，英国足球已经发展到了成熟阶段，并且浸透到了英国社会的各个阶层。英国人热爱足球，英国人民的生活与足球息息相关。足球在英国与其说是一项运动，不如说是一种文化，更是一项产业。在此行业内，从事足球运动相关工作的人数众多，商业化程度很高。当前，高度发达的英国足球存在着足球流氓暴力行为和足球场上的种族歧视这两大难题。本论文通过对英国足球现状的研究，透视英国足球既有阳光的一面，也有阴暗的一面，但阴暗掩盖不了阳光。英国足球是朝着阳光的、积极的方面发展的，并以其自身的优势和影响力为欧洲其他各国足球产业的发展提供借鉴，带动欧洲地区足球产业的发展。
