who is part of the team?
In a student’s paper I was reading, there was an insightful comment about “fans” and “teams” that got me thinking . . . who is part of the team?
How important are fans to teams? Are fans part of the team? Are the popcorn and beer vendors part of the team? What about the guy who rents out his front lawn for game parking?
What about the opposing team? How integral are “they” to “my team’s” existence and identity? In this sense, are “they” part of “us”/are “we” part of “them”?
What might be some signs of healthy patterns of relating between the fans of different teams?
Are fans part of the indifferent and the indifferent part of the fans”?
. . . any parallels to others spheres of life?
Peace, dwight
