If our most popular sport, one which is increasing in terms of popularity still, is not part of our culture then what is? This is a bizarre take.
You have a Spurs Season ticket? So you've attended this massive 60,000 seater stadium they've built in North London, just two tube stops away from another 60,000 seater stadium built less than 20 years ago in North London and you don't think it's part of our culture? Wembley was rebuilt only recently too.
When we look back on the Romans one of the most popular impressions we have of their culture was the Colosseum and we've built tens of dozens of huge versions across the country with London have added four new massive ones in the last 20 or so years. If we were all suddenly wiped out and a future civilisation had to work out who we were based on what we left behind they would think we worshipped God(s) and football.
