Product Description
This book argues that sport is essential to the social health of any society. Participation in the sport fan experience is very meaningful for a significant portion of the membership of any society. This volume argues that sports fan violence, particularly celebrating riots after championship play, disturbs and harms one of the key positive aspects of sports.

5 out of 5 stars Author's commentr   August 18, 2007
I am the author of this volume. It is my hope that readers use the information in the book to understand celebrating sports violence. This violence harms organized sport fandom which I believe is essential to the health of social life.
