[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 6796372, member: 85555"] In light of the first article I'd be curious what studies about fans of more individual sports, rather team sports, show. I grew up with boxing as a big thing because my grandfather did it, and for a while would say I was an uber fan of certain fighters. I can definitely see the whole experiencing the highs and lows through the fighter. I can see the catharsis of watching and cheering that the article raises (and the thrill of winning money if you ever bet on these things). But with boxing I never got the sense of belonging the article describes. There is definitely something primal about it though. Another element is these sports are pretty objective and concrete. You have definitive outcomes: win, lose or draw. Something about that is appealing I think. [/QUOTE]
