Amanda Bailey on 05 Jun 12What an interesting blog! The dialogue they had titled "(How) Have Technological Shifts Changed Being A Sports Fan?" was so interesting! My focus as I searched through SI literature tended to focus on issues of censorship and privacy, but the idea that technology would impact sports fandom had never occured to me. The stances made by both participants were very well thought out and presented some really good arguments. The role of technology in fandom studies is an area that could be really interesting to dive deeper into.
