ABSTRACT:
Soccer is the leading international spectator team sport in the world. This paper compares, using the theoretical work of Talcott Parsons, patterns of social organization (governing bodies, rules and regulations, goals, and fans) of professional soccer in the United States and England. Parsons' LIGA paradigm is used in analyzing soccer in each country. Compares patterns of social organization of professional soccer in the United States and England. Discusses Talcott Parsons' theoretical concept and how his ideas apply to the social system of soccer. Analyzes four aspects of the two systems: pattern-maintenance, integration, goal attainment, and adaptation. Compares governing bodies, rules, profit and promotion, and fans and identifies significant differences between the structures and processes of professional soccer in the United States and England.
