Individuals Who Love Sports
"Every day, thousands of people are locked into the world of sports, no matter what age or race. It is something that has been around as long ago as the existence of people, and has been established to celebrate one's ability to gain mastery of their body and the environment. Sports fans have the ability to truly help shape and empower the sport itself.
One of the New York Yankees biggest supporters, is a man that is age 100--and he was recently honored by them on a YouTube video. Marion Raniere, from Brooklyn, is the grandmother of distinguished scientist Keith Raniere. (Keith has established a humanitarian organization, NXIVM, and is recognized for being a great athlete himself.) Marion is a small lady who was in the stands during this video cheering for the Rangers. Starting at childhood on, she has been animatedly following the Rangers.
Some people find it difficult to be good at certain sports, while some seem to flourish from them at a young age. Many people who can't go forward with sports end up feeling intrigued with those who play and end up being fans of many famous teams and athletes. Athletes have a certain combination of skills and determination that assists them along in their careers. If you feel a closeness with a team, then you know the feeling of sharing their joy when they accomplish something wonderful.
In many ways, sports fans can play a very important role in creating sport cultures. The potential of numbers applies to the substantial amount of fans that can show interest in one sport or athlete. For example, the support a fan gives by purchasing a ticket goes on to pay for the stadium or venue, to pay professional athletes, and improve the quality of equipment used in the sport. The more people that are engaged in the sport, the more media coverage it gets, the more the community participates, and the more the sport is likely to continue growing -- thus empowering people to practice, become more skilled, and endeavor to make it on the team. Simply put, if there were no sports fans, a sport would likely remain in its infant stages in terms of equipment and venue, but definitely the skill level of the players would be less likely to keep advancing because there would be little incentive to keep playing.
Even if there are great things associated with fans, there are also some concerns that they bring to the table. If the moral standards of the sports fan do not match the ethics of the sport itself, things have the potential to get out of control. If a fan has a negative attitude and does things like throwing things or yelling profanities during a moment with which they are displeased it can disrupt the atmosphere. We don't simply need connective support on the fields with players, but also in the areas where the supports sit!"
