why are some sports only popular in certain places?

Most countries' allegiances to sport have been integrated due to the old British Empire (Rugby Union, Cricket). Football is most popular around the world because it's such a simple and inexpensive game which anyone can play. The United States pretty much made up their own sports as a symbolism of independence.
