董路：中国人是世界上最不热爱足球的人！球员不爱足球，就是干活挣钱（董路称中国足球热情不足：不少球员只把踢球当谋生）

Analyzing football participation

I need to discuss the generalized claim about football participation with some nuance. I’ll explore various causes like system incentives, youth development, school pressure, and professional league governance. Comparing participation rates in China versus Europe seems essential, too. Ideally, I could mention that the FIFA Big Count 2006 indicated around 26 million participants in China, though registered players were fewer. I should also provide caution on definitions. Keeping it concise and clear is important to avoid misinformation.Discussing football participation rates

I need to be careful in stating claims about participation rates. As of pre-2024, registered football players in China are relatively low, with the Chinese Football Association reporting about 70,000 registered players in 2022. I might avoid exact numbers and note that registered players and youth training coverage are far lower compared to football powerhouses. It's important to include structural analysis, focusing on the difference between passion and incentives. Since formatting is light, I’ll aim for simple bullet points in my presentation.
