But he doesn't give up on professional sports. In the second half of the book, he proposes strategies to reclaim joy in fandom: rooting for players instead of teams, being a fair-weather fan, becoming an activist, and other clever solutions." -- $c Publisher marketing. 650 0 $a Sports spectators $z United States $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a Sports team owners $z United States $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a Sports teams $z United States $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a Criticism $z United States. 941 $a 4 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20220802014717.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630014206.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220520010310.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20220429010355.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A47A0892C78111EC88DDE91452ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
