Basketball Cheers and Chant
Cheering for Self: An Ethnography of the Basketball Event by James S. Vass Jr,
This paper is a study of UW men s basketball fans during the 2001-2002 season basketball cheers and chant and explores their proclivity to cheering for self during basketball events. The term basketball event is used rather than basketball game to make clear that everything connected to basketball cheers and chant and seen, heard, or experienced before, during basketball cheers and chant and after a basketball game is included. The actual game itself is only part of the basketball event. An undercurrent runs throughout this participant observation mini-ethnography dealing with access, basketball cheers and chant and the relative quality of that access, to basketball events being affected by ones age, class, race, basketball cheers and chant and gender. The prominent role of advertising in shaping basketball events basketball cheers and chant and helping to construct fans as consumers of products (both commercial basketball cheers and chant and institutional) during the process of cheering for self is central to this thesis. Cheering for self is the activity engaged in by individual fans after they find things to identify or connect with through personal investment. Fans cheer for self indirectly. Fans cheer for the team that they identify with. Through the process of cheering for self while attending the basketball event people are taught how to become fans, to consume a UW product--the basketball event basketball cheers and chant and to consume advertisers products.
