...that affect the game, also I will do my best to discuss the fans behavior, and along with their age groups’ will focus on what stand out in the game or what type of subculture that is participating as a fan. What special language and knowledge characterizes the sport and what notable or particular behavior of individuals or groups stands out in this event. Competition and Environment The competition is between my home team, New Madrid County Central and Kennett High School on February 5th, 2013, this is a recorded game on YouTube, so I will do my best to describe the game as is. The competition in my opinion is not match because Kenneth has only a limited of student to work with and NMCC has several players from difference small town that has competed to be on the team. The key factors that affect this games is their home town, big turnout in fans, and some high expectations is the home team will perform in the game at their best and win the game. The environment in Kenneth is a big deal because it is a small community that has put so much in their team, community, media and support in order to beat a team that has won several state titles. (Your Home town Channel, 2013) Who is there? NMCC vs. Kennett is the main players at this game; also you have the media, sponsors, fans and security. There are cheerleaders, local officials, teachers and peers hearing the game on their local radio show. Majority of the fans in the game is lower upper-class, over forty year’s olds, and...

Assuch, teams can no longer rely on mobilizing fan support and sponsorship capital intheir home market alone. In the same way corporations are guided by a compelling andoriginal idea that forms the basis for their brand strategy, so too must sporting teams.The purpose of this paper is to draw parallels between “conventional” brands like Appleand Disney, and to articulate what sporting teams can learn from those companies inthe management of their own brands. Brand Strategy For Sporting Teams By any definition, sporting teams today are big businesses. Harvard Professor StephenGreyser has observed that in recent times we have seen teams migrate from the sportspages to the business pages and, now sometimes, to the front page (Comeau, 2005).Like other large corporations, teams employ great numbers of people, generate profitsand losses, all the while seeking to achieve success against certain performancemetrics. And like other businesses, they have to perform well, remain financially viableand satisfy several stakeholders who have a financial interest in...

...Sports Fans Sports fans are a definitely a different breed of people. When their team or teams are playing their mentality is they better win this game and if they lose its then end of the world and puts a lot of the people in bad moods. This happens on the daily basis. Sports fans thrive for the excitement of the games. The excitement of the games and the atmosphere of the stadium bring them in to a whole different world. The fans that take it the most seriously are definitely soccer, baseball, hockey and football fans the most. The die-hard fans care about every game that is played by their team. Most of the time they will take the hard fought loss as if they are part of the team. People are crazy about sports, they’re die-hard fanatics, which sometimes care more about sports then their actual life. The biggest sports fans would have to be football; they go all out for their team. People plan their day around the game by getting to the field to barbeque and tailgate before the game. Most of the time it will be two to three hours before the game. Even some times people will just get to the stadium to tailgate and be in the atmosphere of everyone else and not go into the game because they don’t have tickets. Football fans are crazy they will throw parties in the parking lot before and after the games. They also have fans that paint their bodies and stand out in the freezing cold when normal people would be bulled up in cloths. Football Fans are crazy but that is just the...

Whether it is because of the coaches, the players, the cheerleaders, or whatever it may be, there is a sports fan in every household. Fans can be categorized into three categories, the polite and quiet ones, the unexpected crazies, and then the absolutely crazy ones. The polite fans only come because their child is playing or their spouse is coaching. They would much rather sit at home in their lazy boy and watch the Food Network, a show that...

...turf. Upon entering the parking lot, I see the stalls transform into an ocean of darkness, with fans in black attire. Echoes of hard bass thumps out from car stereos, white smoke fills the air, coupled with the aroma of grilled meat. As we line up our vehicles, we equip ourselves to become consumed by the pandemonium and uproar of the game. The sun beams on the blacktop as we begin to empty the trucks to set up for some pregame entertainment. Canopies are raised to keep our group from getting sunburned, alongside making it a comfortable spot to eat, drink, and dance. The ladies begin slicing up vegetables to make salsa while, the men preheat all flame broils in preparation to feed the group. The hit of the beats escape from speakers, feet start to tap, and trigger butts to wiggle. Cocktails and beer fill hands and voices start to recite the words of the chorus....

...assert. Additionally, you will find the writer opinion as to how they believe the claim will be resolved along with the legal reasons for their belief. Scenario One The torts actions, elements, potential plaintiffs, defendants, and claim resolution arise from a series of actions that took place at a football game. Daniel and his son Ruben, age 8, go to a football game. The quarterback drops back to throw a pass, and is hit by an opposing player, breaking the quarterback’s arm, and sending the ball into the stands, injuring a fan. Malik jumps up to yell at the referee, spilling his cold beer on Ruben. Daniel is upset to see Ruben’s enjoyment spoiled this way, and shoves Malik. As Malik falls, he grabs onto the railing, which gives way under his weight. Malik’s face hits the aisle steps, knocking out two of his front teeth. On their way out, Daniel stops at the concession stand to buy two diet soft drinks. A lady standing in line at the concession stand smells the beer on Ruben, and she starts yelling at Daniel, accusing him of giving beer to a child. She makes a huge scene, and several customers cast disgusted glances toward Daniel. One of them is Daniel’s boss, who tells him he does not want anyone working for him who would give alcohol to a child, and that Daniel is fired. Meanwhile, the concession worker gets distracted by the scene in front of him, and accidentally gives Daniel two regular, sugary soft drinks instead of diet drinks. Daniel and Ruben drink the soft...

...Spilling every lie you've spilled before, still I'm not forgiving you. What's happened between us? What can I give to save us? Being righteous isn't quite enough! What's happened between us? What can I give to save me? ~A Single Moment Of Sincerity Album: Stand Up And Scream Asking Alexandria, a band that started in Dubai actually by lead guitarist Ben Bruce and his friends. They weren’t called Asking Alexandria at first, but they later changed their name to AA and then disbanded. Ben moved back to the U.K and was looking for bandmates where he saw Danny Worsnop’s cover of a song from the band Alesana. Ben contacted Danny and they started the band Asking Alexandria. They recruited other members such as Cameron Liddell (guitarist) and James Cassells (drummer) and finally Sam Bettley (bassist). The gang flew out to the U.S and started looking for a studio and record label – which they found shortly after their arrival. They recorded their first album Stand Up And Scream with producer Joey Sturgis and under the record label Sumerian Records. (Grand record label if I might add) Their debut album was released Sep. 15th 2009. They started touring and endured in countless interviews. *Interview time children* Interviewer: So guys, can I have you personally introduce yourself and your role in the band? Danny: Hi I’m Danny and I play the voice thing. Ben: I’m Ben and I play guitar and sometimes backing vocals. James: Hi I’m James and I play the drooms. (Drums) Cam: I’m Cam and...

...baseball fans. Fans at a baseball game do not merely provide support for the home team, but also a metaphor for life. Specifically, the actions of the spectators at a game illustrate the selfish desires of human nature as well as a possible answer to improve life for all. For example, when I attend a baseball game, I notice that many fans have individual aspirations for success beyond which team wins the game. It appears that ultimate desire of a baseball fan is to be featured on the Jumbo-tron, the oversized television screen located within the stadium. Many fans believe that the Jumbo-tron brings everlasting happiness and glory to any featured on its oversized screen. However, while the Jumbo-tron allows some to rejoice in their fifteen seconds of fame, I have noticed that it also has a dark side. At times the Jumbo-tron arouses hidden feelings of jealousy towards those like Joe Jones, from section 435 row G seat 1, when he wins a free tub of extra large nachos and his success is celebrated on the large screen in center field. While some fans completely disregard the aspirations and desires of others just so their individual goals can be met, there is always one courageous fan that stands up and represents the coming together of people in order to achieve a common goal. This fan knows that true jubilation comes not only from individual success but from the struggle that brings a diverse group of people together to work as a team in order to succeed. Generally, the fan that I...

One of the biggest parts of that number would be the students. Seated in the Boneyard, these students will sure voice themselves from the stands, usually at the referees.

Using these age categories will help to find the true feelings when it comes to this protest. I will also ask whether they believe he should be chastised for his actions—whether by the team, his agent or the fans. I will randomly choose different people: males and female, nationalities, athletic or non-athletic, and sports fans or not. These diverse and broad ranges will help to conclude my research into whether or not one believes the organizations can reprimand their players for protesting this anthem. I will personally interview all the participants to...

...witnessed its worst ever football related disaster when 79 fans lost their lives during a match between Al-Ahly and Al-Masry. Unlike other stadium disruptions that happened in the previous year (Zamalek fans invading the pitch during an African Champions league match against Tunisia’s Club Africain on April 2nd 2011) the cause of this tragedy was the deliberate targeting of Ahly supporters by malevolent forces. Although there have been some arrests, the fact remains that no one has been brought to justice. It therefore comes as a surprise that having cancelled the previous league season, the governing bodies took the decision to restart domestic football by playing the Egyptian Super Cup on September 10 2012. In the passed seven months both the Egyptian national team and Egyptian clubs playing in continental competition have been able to carry on playing matches, albeit behind closed doors. There has been no enquiry or efforts made by the FA, ministry of sports, or police in order to look at ways of preventing tragedies such as Port Said, or other hooligan related acts from occurring again. Basically we have learned nothing. While the context and causes are completely different, it would be wise to take the example of what took place in the aftermath of the Hillsborough disaster in the UK as a model for what should have happened following the Port Said incident. Hillsborough Background: On the 15th of April 1989, 96 fans lost their lives as a result of a human-crush caused...

...The word family brings all kinds of thoughts into a person’s mind. Family can stand for anything that has to do with a group of people that have something in common. Most people believe family has to do with blood related people or people who enter a family through marriage but there is much more to the word family than that. A family can range from two people to just about any amount of people. A family is not just started from a mother and father, a family can be teammates, fans of a specific team, people that share a common interest, or any other way of collecting people into groups known as families. In the art gallery there are a variety of ways that family is represented but there were two pieces that grabbed my attention. The first piece of art that represented family to me was by the artist Stefan Abrams. The artwork was named Dopplegangers and it was composed of seven photographs stacked on top of one another which were about two feet in width and nine feet in height. In the pictures were two people that looked similar, wore similar clothes, were doing the same action, or were fans of the same sports team. That represents family because you do not need to be brothers to be family, you can be friends that share a common interest and you are a family. All of the New York Yankee fans in this world are all a family because they cheer for the same team and when they win everyone is happy and when they lose everyone is hurt. In the expression, “you win as a team, and lose...
