why are some sports only popular in certain places?

Money is a big factor with soccer being one of the cheapest sports to play due to all that is needed is a ball and a field of any type (ex. grass, dirt, sand, concrete). Other sports require more stuff or special circumstances like hockey needing ice.

Rugby used to be huge in the US until the early 1910s when too many deaths from college games forced the US version of rugby to evolve more into today's current football.
