Beskrivelse af Why It's OK to Be a Sports Fan
This book offers readers a pitch-side view of the ethics of fandom. Its accessible six chapters are aimed both at true sports fans whose conscience may be occasionally piqued by their pastime, and at those who are more certain of the moral hazards involved in following a team or sport.
Why It's OK to Be a Sports Fan wrestles with a range of arguments against fandom and counters with its own arguments on why being a fan is very often a good thing. It looks at the ethical issues fans face, from the violent or racist behavior of those in the stands, to players' infamous misdeeds, to owners debasing their own clubs. In response to these moral risks, the book argues that by being critical fans, followers of a team or individual can reap the benefits of fandom while avoiding many of the ethical pitfalls. The authors show the value in deeply loving a team but also how a condition of this value is recognizing that the love of a fan comes with real limits and responsibilities.
Key Features
Provides an accessible introduction to a key area of the philosophy of sport
Closely looks at some of the salient ethical concerns around sports fandom
Proposes that the value of community in partisan fandom should not be underestimated as a key feature of the good life
Examines how the same emotions and environments that can lead to violence are identical to those that lead to virtuous loyalty
Argues for a fan's responsibility in calling out violence or racist behavior from their fellow fans
