Blind Fan Vs Die Hard Fans

People getting arrested, drunk, and in fights for a game? People all across the world attend sports of all kinds. Fans can not always be the nicest or like the other team but that shouldn't stop you from being a fan or going to a game. Infact it’s good to be a fan of a certain team, studies showed that if you have strong liking of a particular team it can actually make you a healthier, happier, and more social person. So if you don’t particularly like a sport just turn on your tv and try watching some type of sport who knows you might just like it.

Viewer experience of a Cleveland Browns game and Smithville Smithies game is very different. When you walk out of the dimly lit hallway and into the stadium at First Energy, the sun is blinding. The grass field looks so good that it could be easily mistaken as artificial turf. There are over 70,000 fans on any given Sunday. While looking around the stadium you can see orange and brown colors everywhere of fans representing the home team. Occasionally you can see different colors scattered amongst the Brown’s colors of the fans representing the other team. Noise from the crowd is so loud, it makes it hard to hear people sitting in the seat beside you. When the browns are announced they ran out of the tunnel and the whole crowd stands up to cheer. Many fans at the browns game fans are drunk, and yell at the other team’s fans. After the browns run onto the field they start warming up. Quarterbacks start passing the ball to each other, the centers are snapping, and the punters are

Fans can put so much stress on players of their favorite professional teams. You might not even realize the impact you are making. During the regular season of any sport is a long journey. But then when your team makes it into the playoffs or championship the pressure gets even higher on those players. “Is there ever really a time where fans should be sending death threats to any athlete? Brandon Jacobs, a running back for the New York Giants, was sidelined the Giants opening game this season with a hamstring injury. Because of this, he received a death threat.” (Bocchino) This is one of the best examples of how much pressure is on professional athletes. Fans sending threats to make sure these players play good. After all these athletes are humans just like everyone and should not be put in that situation.

Fans that are fanatics are the ones who are diehard and will put their favorite team before almost all other priorities. Their lives revolve around their favorite team and they will do

Soccer is like a religion in many countries all over the world and it means everything to its fans. Where im from, Argentina, soccer is bigger than anything. Alot of people take soccer even more serious than their jobs. Sometimes a little to serious. There has been a lot of soccer related accidents in Argentina and many other parts of the world. Many of the accidents occur during games in the stands. Soccer rivalries are very big in Argentina. Sometimes they seperate towns. Just like gangs here in United States, soccer fans fight for respect and hate towards the other team, a lot of times ending in deaths. Other incidents occur off the field. A good example to show how serious fans take the game, is the incident that occur after a World Cup, when a colombian player scored an own goal during an important game, and he was assasinated a few days later. Things like that usually never happen here in the United States. Not to say that fans are no passionate about football, but its a different type of passion.

Team fandoms are one of many advantages sports teams in the NFL use to ease the financial load on their stadiums. In 2006 the Arizona Cardinals team officials decided

My friends and I are constantly playing games where the winner is entitled to bragging rights. We versus all the time, and boastful when we play well. One topic that some of the biggest rivalries and arguments come from in my friend group is with professional sport teams. For example, a couple of my friends are fans of the Golden State Warriors and never fail to let me know how successful of a year they’re having. On the other hand, I can’t stand this team and always tell them how the team is going to choke. I argue with them about the talent the team has and about if there captain really is the best player in the league. Simple arguments and opinions turn into deadly rivalries when my friends begin to talk professional sports. All of our beliefs typically collide in some way and we’re left debating over questions that have no true

With how many sporting events that there are in this country, it is common to see fans that love multiple games. Professional sports are typically favored by most followers, but there is a clear deficiency that hurts the leagues. Professional sports are exhilarating if one is a fan of a playoff team or especially a team that wins championships on a regular basis. While this is great for traditional powerhouses and teams with endless amounts of money, the majority of teams in these leagues serve as punching bags for years or even multiple decades. There is a fine line between these teams and other organizations that struggle just to make financial ends meet. Teams in financial

Along with the outpouring of love, there is criticism. Unless you have walked a mile in someone's shoes, don't pretend to know or understand their life and struggles. Basketball fans have watched Lamar Odom light it up on the basketball court or fall in love with a member of the most famous reality family, however that is all we see. We see what is put out there for us to see. We are not there behind closed doors witnessing the pain he endured, nor do we have any business doing

College football is a major part of many peoples' lives, especially here in the South. Whether we or someone we know is an alumni, we plan to go there in the future we think the uniforms are cute, or whatever reason, we always have one favorite team we cheer for. sometimes fans of a team will wear a shirt with the team's logo and that is as far as their loyalty goes. Others may attend a few games a season, but there are also those die hard fans that never miss a game or always tailgating, screaming at the refs, and have the team's fight song as their ringtone. While all that may seem a little overboard, there are people believe it or not, who take their team devotion as far as killing to show their devotion to their favorite team. Having

For some people they have no choice but to take the chance and wish for the bright one,as many others do.Even though the sport is great and exciting, as the saying goes numbers never lie.There are more 5,000 players,who say they were actually blinded to the worst.Doing things like crumples relations for fans, players, and even former players.Players do not only get hurt during the games, but mistakes also happen

Secondly, when an athlete first steps on to the pitch they instantly form a bond with every single member of the crowd that came to watch them play. This bond however can not only be good, but it can be bad as well. According to A Psychoanalysis of Sports by Dustin Ervin, “The sport is the stage, athletes the characters, and crowd the audience” (Ervin 33). In simple terms, the crowd acts as audience that comes to see the athletes “characters” play. The athletes preform their sport on the field. Now if you ever have been to a play or have seen one in cinemas, you would note that the audience can show multiple attitudes towards the film based upon how it presents itself. This is the same for crowds watching athletes on the field. If the crowd approves of a particular athlete’s performance, or the team as a whole, they will erupt with cheers and applause. However, if they detest the performance that they are given, boos will be heard around the stadium. The athlete’s performance is also based around this feedback. If the crowd is booing the athlete then he or she might simply perform poorly for the rest of the match. But, if the crowd is cheering the athlete on the urge to keep pleasing the crowd grows as does the performance of the athlete.

The way a team builds itself changes the type of culture that surrounds a team. A team at the other end of the spectrum is the St. Louis Cardinals. They have built their team through their farm system like I mention earlier, also known as the minor leagues. Many of their players are “home grown” talent as they call it and the fans are very close to their players, unlike the money driven stars, the fans feel like the young players are growing up and their involved with it. An example of this is on the teams Facebook page the team posted a thank you to two of their home grown stars that they traded away, and the top comment reads this, “Freese will always be a cardinal in the hearts of true fans of STL(St. Louis) baseball.” The second highest comment posted is this, “Freese will always be the homegrown talent. Best of luck to both of them in Anaheim.” The cardinal fans love their players and care about wining, but there is more to it to them, they feel a part of the growing of David Freese and other players like him.

Reason to Listen: Sports are a big part of most of our lives. You don’t want to be stuck being a fan of the wrong team

Society calls for athletes to give flawless performances in the stadiums and arenas. The fans have grown accustomed to high flying, hard hitting shows of athleticism and finesse, and oftentimes an athletes success gains them a elevated status in society with special privileges that you and I can only dream of. As there careers get bigger and bigger they fell that they should be shown a certain respect by fans when not on the field, and many athletes become angered when
