摘要

摘要：本文解释了体育媒体娱乐在让观众习惯于保守民粹主义逻辑方面的作用，这种逻辑将种族化和性别化暴力的正当性与焦虑和羞辱感联系起来。本文提出了对抗性体育粉丝的概念，在这种参与模式中，口头决斗成为粉丝和媒体人物参与体育活动的主要方式。它认为，对抗性体育迷的关键作用之一是提供一个公共论坛，在这里，征服身体的乐趣可以通过援引受害和羞辱来证明，这是一种非政治乐趣。本文通过考察体育媒体公司Barstol sports、FX电视连续剧《联盟》和2009年的电影《大球迷》来阐述这些观点。

Antagonistic Sports Fandom

Abstract:This essay explains the role of sports media entertainment in habituating audiences to a logic of conservative populism, which connects justifications for racialized and gendered violence with a sense of anxiety and humiliation. The essay develops the concept of antagonistic sports fandom, a mode of engagement in which verbal duels become the dominant way that fans and media figures engage with sports. It argues that one of the crucial roles of antagonistic sports fandom is to provide a public forum where the pleasure of subjugating bodies can be justified via the invocation of victimization and humiliation, presented as apolitical fun. The essay develops these points by examining the sports media company Barstool Sports, the FX television series The League, and the 2009 film Big Fan.
