The Ethics of Sports Fandom (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Fans regard sports as an escapist pursuit-something that provides distraction from the cares and concerns of real life. This book pushes back against the escapist account of sports fandom and argues that we understand the value of fandom in terms of the ability of sports to prompt fans to reflect meaningfully on the notion of the good life.
