Why are we sports fans? Why do we care about how somebody else throws a ball or where that ball lands? Ethics Forward interviews Dr. Erin Tarver of Oxford College/Emory University about how sports fans construct their identity by participating in their team's fan culture. How does this process differ by gender and race? Is fandom altogether a good thing? What does "good fandom" look like? Should fans avoid fantasy sports?
