		<description>Well I&#039;m an English football fan and nothing is more commercial than the Premier League! Japanese fans love their teams and have their own ultras. Of course some fans are more intense than others, but anyone who&#039;s seen the empty hospitality seats after half time at Arsenal or Wembley knows that&#039;s the same everywhere! And they even allow families into English grounds now! Some might say it&#039;s preferable to getting your head kicked in during the 70&#039;s and 80&#039;s...</description>

		<description>With all that enthusiasm and also with some understanding of cultural differences, I&#039;d say that Japanese atmosphere is as much plastic as you can get.
Although at most stadiums you&#039;ll hear chants, average games are played in front of not even half-filled rows. Before and after the game the general feeling is picknick and chatter. Outside the supporters&#039; blocks people read newspapers and sleep during the game while two-year old children are fed with candy til they throw up (happened to me twice). The clubs are over-merchandised and supporters are all too glad to be able to spend as much money as possible. Although this may be a dream come true for all those big investors in Premier League football, to continental European ultras and critical opponents of &quot;modern football&quot; it is pure horror. As is the invention and end of clubs on a regular basis. So my trip to Japan was football-wise a déjà-vue of US sports: economy and plastic. 
Nippon-sakka sucks.</description>
