Once deemed an unworthy research endeavor, the study of sports fandom has garnered the attention of seasoned scholars from a variety of academic disciplines. Identity and socialization among sports fans are particular burgeoning areas of study among a growing cadre of specialists in the social sciences. Sports Fans, Identity, and Socialization, edited by Adam C. Earnheardt, Paul Haridakis, and Barbara Hugenberg, captures an eclectic collection of new studies from accomplished scholars in the fields such as communication, business, geography, kinesiology, media, and sports management and administration, using a wide range of methodologies including quantitative, qualitative, and critical analyses. In the communication revolution of the twenty-first century, the study of mediated sports is critical. As fans use all media at their disposal to consume sports and carry their sports-viewing experience online, they are seizing the initiative and asserting themselves into the mediated sports-dissemination process. They are occupying traditional roles of consumers/receivers of sports, but also as sharers and sports content creators. Fans are becoming pseudo sports journalists. They are interpreting mediated sports content for other fans. They are making their voice heard by sports organizations and athletes. Mediated sports, in essence, provide a context for studying and understanding where and how the communication revolution of the twenty-first century is being waged. With their collection of studies by scholars from North America and Europe, Earnheardt, Haridakis, and Hugenberg illuminate the symbiotic relationship among and between sports organizations, the media, and their audiences. Sports Fans, Identity, and Socialization spurs both the researcher and the interested fan to consider what the study of sports tells us about ourselves and the society in which we live.

Stories of athlete anti-social behaviors have been well-document over the last quarter of a century. Off-the-field behaviors that have received news coverage included the use of recreational and performance-enhancing drugs, illegal gambling, sexual misconduct, murder, and more. Although some argue that fans may model these and other behaviors, there is little evidence to suggest that these concerns are valid. Knowing sports fan judgments of athlete behaviors may hold the key to understanding how and why people may model these actions. Additionally, the term sports fandom suggests, to some, an image of crazed fanatics clad in the colors of their favorite teams and athletes. For many, however, sports fandom symbolizes more than fanaticism. This book is unique in that it explores fandom on a continuum, examines sports television viewing activities, and identifies judgments people make about athlete behaviors. Few books exist that examine the role of sports in society. In fact, when sports fandom is examined within these texts, it is usually done so with limited scope. This work fills that vacancy with an exploration of possible predictors of judgments of athlete anti-social behaviors.
