is famous for its carnivals, beautiful women and football. you can change your wife but you cannot change your mother and your football club. if you are a real fan, you will cherish your team second only to your mother and be more faithful to your team than to your own spouse. consequently, once you have chosen your team you will despise the other teams for as long as you live. if a team other than yours is playing against a team from st. paulo, for example, in the finals of a national championship, you will simply ignore the entire event. under all circumstances, a true fan will only acknowledge the existence of his own team.the unresolved question is just how a fan chooses a team. is it purely random? or are there social, psychological, economic and or political factors involved? given the central importance of the sport of football in brazilian life, this is not a frivolous contemplation.the word passion is never far away from any attempt to get under the skin of football in south america. there is no lack of evidence to suggest a growing passion for football in south america. football established itself in argentina, brazil and uruguay less as a competition between cities, more on the basis of club rivalry within cities.the political, economic and cultural uses of football in latin america are summarized as a device in the quest for national identity; as an arena constructively manipulated by politicians and generals; as an agent of political, socio-economic, and cultural elites in order to stunt working-class and popular consciousness and revolt; as a rare potential bottom-up medium of challenging dominant perceptions in order to create more suitable psychological and cultural conditions for social change; and as a bodily, psychic, and spiritual extension of the individual and community senses . the dominant orientation of latin american football, especially at the professional level, has been towards a nationalistic, authoritarian, class-based, and gender-specific manipulation of the sport by political, military, socio-economic, and even cultural elites.in the early years of the century, old-style establishments - factory management boards and the like-representatives of latin americans elite, made attempts to form relationships with working-class. at times this took the form of patronage, with an established club funding an affiliated local team. at other times, it took on other dimensions - managers encouraging the creation of football sides among the workers to foster company loyalty and, perhaps more importantly, to divert employees attentions away from the more damaging spirit of industrial unrest. in these early relationships formed between the elite and the masses in football, can be seen the origins of one of the most compelling arguments in the analysis of football in latin america: that football serves as an opiate of the masses, an instrument of mass control.

weight.myth 1. being overweight is unhealthy: being overweight may be unfashionable but its not necessarily unhealthy. indeed there is evidence that people who are up to 15 pounds overweight actually live longer than those of normal weight. it is only when we become seriously overweight or obese that our health begins to suffer. another important factor is where we carry our excess weight. for example, an obese man who carries his excess weight around his middle is more vulnerable to disease than an obese man whose excess weight is distributed more widely.myth 2. losing weight means eating small portions: we are all brainwashed into thinking that losing weight or dieting means eating tiny portions. but its not true, because some foods contain a lot more calories than others. for example, one small pastry can be higher in calories than a whole plateful of chicken, potatoes and vegetables. losing weight means eating fewer calories than we need. however, by choosing foods which are low in calories (and taking regular exercise) we can often lose weight without eating less. in fact, sometimes we can actually eat more.myth 3. we can lose weight from specific parts of our body: nonsense. when we start a weight loss plan, our body burns fat from all available fat stores, not just from particular parts. we cannot control this process. if a diet claims to help you lose weight from your thighs only, dont believe it!myth 4. some people are fat even though they eat
