Abstract

The main focus of the chapter is to bring out the extremes—immoderations and intemperance—in sports rivalry by primarily considering the case of Monica Seles' stabbing on court by a crazy Steffi Graf fan in 1993. Rivalries among players eventually extend to fans to bring about diverse dark shades (hostility and violence) among the latter. An outcome of being a part of a fan base is extreme devoutness and fervor towards one's own favorite player while considering partisans of an adversary group as an “outgroup.” Sports rivalries customarily create a safe environment to support the creation of ingroup and outgroup, although in fanatical situations, real fights do break out among rival fans. The chapter shall delve into these aspects and consider a distinct case of extreme fan behavior as an upshot of arch rivalry in sports world. The authors shall further examine the role of different stakeholders in bringing about a healthy playing environment and fostering positive fan behavior that shall bring laurels to the game.

个人运动爱好者从竞争到反感

这一章的主要焦点是通过主要考虑1993年莫妮卡·塞莱斯在球场上被一个疯狂的斯蒂菲·格拉芙球迷刺伤的案件，来揭示体育竞争中的极端——过度和放纵。球员之间的竞争最终会延伸到球迷身上，给后者带来不同的阴影(敌意和暴力)。成为粉丝基础的一部分的结果是对自己最喜欢的球员极度忠诚和热情，同时将对手群体的支持者视为“外群体”。体育竞赛通常会创造一个安全的环境，以支持内团体和外团体的形成，尽管在狂热的情况下，竞争对手之间确实会爆发真正的战斗。本章将深入研究这些方面，并考虑一个极端球迷行为的独特案例，作为体育界激烈竞争的结果。作者将进一步研究不同利益相关者在创造健康的游戏环境和培养积极的粉丝行为方面的作用，这些行为将为游戏带来荣誉。
