I would argue that unlike other sporting events I have been to football engenders a sense of belonging and community. It is an experience you feel as opposed to entertainment you view. The banners, flags, smoke, singing, etc. invest you in the outcome of the match that the club is an extension of you.
I think people who never experience that just think we're foolish for getting so passionate about a sport. So, the division stems from the intensity and passion the sport possesses making it feel less welcoming to casual goer who just wants to find some mild amusement on the day.
