Whether they're cheering in the stadium, yelling at the referee from the sofa, or singing their
team's victory song, sports fans exist all over the world. The long-term attachment to a
particular sport or team appears to develop around the age of eight or nine, and the sport or
team a person decides to follow is largely influenced by their social circle rather than their
personal participation in a sport. Research into the psychology of sports fans has revealed
some common principles that apply to the behaviour of most fans.
Have you ever heard a sports fan boasting, 'We thrashed the other team today!' or 'We are
top of the league at the moment'? Clearly the fan was not personally involved in achieving
either success, yet they use the pronoun 'we' to report their team's performance. Fans' use
of 'us' and 'we' to talk about their favourite team is common behaviour. It demonstrates the
strong sense of identity fans feel great and enjoy experiencing the victory as if they had
played a part in the success themselves.
The opposite of this often happens after a team suffers a defeat. Fans in this case may refer
to the team as 'they' in order to distance themselves from their team's disappointing match
result. A dissatisfied fan is more likely to say 'they played really badly' as they want no
responsibility for the depressing final score. Furthermore, they will be unlikely to wear any
clothing that pinpoints them as a supporter after losing to a rival team. However, research
shows that this is not the case with fiercely loyal or 'true' fans. They will carry on wearing
their team scarf even when their team performs badly and will say with genuine sadness,
'they beat US three nil'.
Finally, and perhaps most interestingly, ,is the way in which sports fans swear by their
superstiti9ns or lucky charms. Wearing a certain item of clothing or carrying a lucky object
is common practice of many. People who may not be superstitious in other aspect of their
life will claim that wearing a certain item oflucky clothing will make their team play better.
3 4
Equally, an action performed while the team lost will be considered bad luck and will be
l
avoided in future for fear of jinxing the team. Of course in reality it makes no difference
what kind of hat you wear or whether you have your lucky coin, but superstitions are taken
very seriously by sports fans and I for one.would not like to try and persuade them otherwise.
