Resumen
Sports is a cultural phenomenon that has a pervasive presence in daily life. For fans, sports is a personal and social activity that involves following games across media platforms, talking with other fans, and contributing their viewpoint to the cacophony of voices on sports websites. This study examines one dimension of the active and social nature of sports fanship – that of the extent and timing of fan comments on NFL team-sponsored websites. Using message board activity from ten NFL teams, it documents the pattern of fan postings between games. Fan activity is greatest within the first 24 h of a game and then tapers throughout the week without increasing until the next game begins. Beyond this, fans are more likely to post after their team wins but there is an undercurrent suggesting factors other than game outcomes may account for fan activity.
