How We Watch Sports: The Evolution of Fandom and Sports Consumption in the #postinternet Era
Description
We live in the Golden Age of sports consumption. Millions of people are tuning
in to the Super Bowl, World Series, World Cup, and Olympics. Using the
recently developed tools provided by digital and social media, fans converse
and bond using the omnipresent coverage of teams and athletes like never
before. Social media has become the primary interaction channel between fans
and the sports industry, the de facto home of breaking news and highlights,
rendering the traditional television highlight show irrelevant. We, as sports
fans are more plugged in to the intricacies of sports than ever before. How is
this affecting the fans, and even the players’ perception of the game?Analyst
and sports commentator Dan Voicescu examines the new reality of sports media
in this informative, humorous guide to the complicated relationship between
fans and the sports they consume. Voicescu also provides an overview on the
different types of fans in your life and why their consumption patterns
matter. In the book’s final section, the author takes a glimpse into the
future, examining the upcoming trends that will continue to change how fans
interact with both the teams they support and with other fellow fans. Read
