Fan Interviews

The SPARK Clinic’s collection of fan interviews serves as a valuable repository of ethnographic research, capturing the rich tapestry of narratives woven by sports enthusiasts from diverse backgrounds. Through these on-going interviews, we delve into the intricacies of fan culture, unearthing insights into the emotional, social, and cultural dimensions of sports fandom. Each interview is a window into the unique experiences, rituals, and identities that shape the relationship between fans and the sports they cherish. As we document and analyze these firsthand accounts, we gain a deeper understanding of the profound impact that sports have on individuals and communities, illuminating the dynamic interplay between passion, identity, and belonging.
