Have you ever wondered why people spend hours watching sports? Memorizing statistics? Driving for hours to attend away games? Painting their bodies with team colours? Screaming directions and encouragement as if their team can hear them? Sport Fans answers these questions and more. This captivating book provides an overview and analysis of sport fans, examining the role played by and the impact of sport in the lives of sport fans and spectators, and the importance of sport for society at large.
