The FIFA World Cup, perhaps more than any other sporting event except the Olympic Games, is rife with rituals. From the way the teams walk on to the field holding the hands of children to the post-game shirt exchange, international soccer is as much ceremony as sport. Psychology professor Cristine Legare explains how today’s soccer customs tie to a long history of ritual in sport. -- http://ow.ly/z4Zf6 [Image courtesy FIFA World Cup.]

- LinkedIn Member "Rituals provide a socially sanctioned opportunity to exert personal control in the face of uncertainty." So very true. I was surprised that in baseball games in Japan, players just start playing when it's time to start. No glorious hymn to the Republic, no fly-over of F15s, no stadium standing up in homage to the flag to sing the national anthem. ... The only thing exciting about a Japanese baseball game was the cheering section.3 days ago
