Editorial Reviews

Review

“an impressive collection...likely the widest array of content available on sports and fandom...impressive...a much-needed look”―Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly; “Sports Mania is perhaps the first monograph dedicated to showcasing research on the relationship between sports fans and the media...will be particularly useful to scholars interested in the changing face of sports media and the role of fans in that evolution”―Journal of Sport History; “a valuable reference volume for any committed scholar of sport or media”―Nordic Sport Science Forum.

The examples in this book are very outdated. At times, I felt most examples with fans are not practiced that way anymore because technology has advanced. Message boards are not really a thing anymore, we all use social media, but I get the message the author was trying to say. I hated this book and felt like a waste of money.
