Praise for the 2nd edition: ""Written by the A-Team of sport fandom researchers, Dan Wann and Jeff James, Sport Fans: The Psychology and Social Impact of Fandom reviews and discusses the importance of the most current research from psychology, marketing, history, sociology, and religious studies examining those rabid followers of sport teams. This book is a must read for anyone who has ever wondered, ‘Why do those sport fans act so crazy?’ Sport Fans will hold an honored place on my bookshelf and is a resource I will use often in my work.""
