Probably football and all other sports the same length of time. The name of the league would have nothing to do with it.

Do they do the same thing in other countries? Not during the various championships where teams from different countries play each other, but at matches within the same country.

Give it time, and each city will have its own anthem and they'll be played also.

Perhaps the more fundamental question that needs asking PoindexterOglethorpe Sep 2017 #11

Because football is a substituted for war. Or perhaps a war-surrogate, since PatrickforO Sep 2017 #15

It's not just football. PoindexterOglethorpe Sep 2017 #16
