Abstract

ABSTRACT Do sports fans really care about their team winning? According to several philosophers, the answer is no. Sports fans engage in fictional caring during the match, which involves a game of make-believe that the result is important. We will argue that this account does not provide a full account of the way in which fans relate to the teams they support. For many fans, the team they support forms a core part of their identity. The success or failure of their team impacts the community they are a part of and around which they build a central part of their identity. For these fans, it really does matter whether their team wins or loses. We will finish by articulating a more limited role that fictional caring may play in sports fandom.

这比这重要得多：反对虚构的粉丝描述

摘要体育迷们真的关心他们的球队获胜吗？根据几位哲学家的说法，答案是否定的。体育迷在比赛中进行虚构的关心，这涉及到一场假装结果很重要的比赛。我们会争辩说，这个账户并没有提供球迷与他们支持的球队之间关系的完整账户。对于许多球迷来说，他们所支持的球队构成了他们身份的核心部分。他们团队的成功或失败会影响他们所属的社区，并围绕这个社区构建他们身份的核心部分。对于这些球迷来说，他们的球队输赢真的很重要。最后，我们将阐明虚构的关爱在体育迷中可能发挥的更为有限的作用。
