关于足球起源的传说有很多,但这些传说或者是没有经过考证,或者经过考证而并非真正的足球运动.那么什么才算“真正意义”上的足球呢?国际足联一直标榜“公平竞争”才是真正的足球,其实,“公平”二字只不过是一件时髦的外衣,只有“竞争”才是足球的真谛.国际足联认为“足球是起源于中国,然后经波斯、埃及、意大利后辗转传播到英国,然后得到发展”.然而“竞争”是工业社会的产物,包括足球在内的现代体育运动,同样也是资本主义和工业的产物.任何远古时代关于足球的记载和传说,都只属于远古的那些封建和农业社会,在那个社会里,只能产生属于有闲阶层的“游戏”而不可能产生具有广泛群众基础的“运动”.所以,任何探讨远古时代足球的言论,对于现代足球来说都是毫无意义,因为现代足球仅仅属于现代.无论是“蹴鞠”还是“哈巴斯托姆”或者其他,都不可能发展成为现代足球.
