description We use to identify football as a game who was killed by the television, as a lot of fans worldwide say to criticize the inteference of mass media. In this work we will analyze for first the ritual dimension of football, then the relationship between football and television, and at last the serial dimensions of football: our attempt is to demonstrate how television doesn’t kill football ‘cause it’s a format prototype.
