that is the upside but we must point out that people don't always take easily to another country's sport. Despite many efforts,cricket has never become popular in the united states. it became poppular in many countries during centuries of british colonialism,but it has made no recent in roads internationally.nor has american football gained much poppularity outside the united states.a former nfl lineman expressed a reason that rules for american football and cricket are so complicated that one much learn them as children.however,football and soccer have traveled to new markets more easily because they are easier to understand and require no specialized equipment.further there is disagreement about the economic effect of successfully winning a bid to host big international competitions such as the world cup and olympics. on the one hand,the events bring in tourists and they publicize to the world the opportunities that might exist in the host location. they also help spur the construction of infrastructure that will speed future economic growth.on the other hand,hosts may spend on stadiums and facilities that have no use afterward.finally,few competitions have ended without substantially increasing local and national debt.nor is everyone happy with the unbridled globalization of sports or at least with some of the effects.brazillian soccer fans lament the loss of their best players,and u.s. fans and public officials protested the sale of the mlb seattle mariners to a foreign investor
