One thing I think can be severely misunderstood about why an area is a centre of excellence, importance, or power within a sport is that geography, and probably population density, seems to play as much of a role as monetary input.

Eurocentrism in football/soccer, South Asian administrative dominance in cricket, the Rugby League powers of England and Australia, and Rugby Union's Northern Hemisphere powers didn't just come about by accident, the proximity of each to each other or another sport plays a massive role.

It's already pretty much codified that the majority of the winning power in football is concentrated in Western Europe, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands are eminent in that regard. If money was the reason, then England would be much more prominent over a number of years, but it's to do with the proximity to each other and the transfer of knowledge between clubs, coaches, players, and countries.

Hell, Joachim Low credited learning different principles from other countries for Germany's World Cup triumph.

In much the same way, there's a chance that Italy's relative isolation from the rest of the 6 Nations contenders contribute somewhat to their more recent struggles in the tournament, though the RFU's stupid 'players based in England' selection policy effectively achieves the same ends at the player level. Both rugby codes, mainly in England and Australia, benefit from the fact that they are so close to each other, so code switching can and does happen. Australia, in particular, can have players move between Aussie Rules as well as the two rugby codes.

India's eminence in cricket administration is also down to a network of information they've constructed in South Asia, with other full members of the ICC in Asia benefiting from an admittedly lopsided knowledge and facility sharing dynamic. (Again, the English are morons because there's the capability of England doing something similar in Europe and helping to improve countries here, damn you ECB)

That's not to say that sports can't thrive in a more isolated or individual sense. American football, basketball, baseball, and ice hockey are all massively popular with a much more limited reach, in terms of the share of the best players around the world.

But at the end of the day, breaking the hold that a region or countries have over a sport is about much more than money and players. The fact that Europe still holds the majority of the power in football is down to much more than the billions or trillions of pounds and euros invested into teams.

Fort Shaw Indian School Girls Basketball Team becomes World Champions at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, 1904.

The seven members of the original team included Genie Butch, Belle Johnson, Nettie Wirth, Minnie Burton, Emma Rose Sansaver, Josephine Langely, and Delia Gebeau.

Native American boarding schools, such as Fort Shaw, were integral to the United States' policy of cultural genocide for American Indians. World's Fairs also played a key role in affirming white supremacy and presenting American Indians as an uncivilized artifact of the past.
