39、ation for sportsmanship, the British tend to be spectators rather than players: the top spectator sport is, of course, football. This sport has been played in some form since the Middle Ages but was not seriously adopted as an organized game until 1848; later, in 1863, the Football Association was f
40、ormed to draw up rules and promote the interests of the game. Over 360 clubs are registered with the FA and about 37, 000 local clubs are members of regional associations.
