Talk:Participatory Culture of Sport/@comment-27101926-20151028224817

Really interested in this topic. Expanding on what Bilal and Brynn said, fantasy leagues play a huge role in gaining fans for their respective sport. Fore example, In one of my football fantasy leagues, someone who knew nothing about the sport joined because he wanted to get his name engraved on our trophy. He is constantly checking every website to figure out who's doing the best in the league, sleeper picks, who he should consider dropping or picking up from/for his team. Unlike myself and most fans, he doesnt have a favourite team. Someone like me would watch the Tennessee Titans (I know, don't judge me) at 1:00 pm and my eyes won't leave the screen unless it goes to commerical break. He on the other hand has purchased NFL Game pass and streams 4-6 games at the same time. Making sure he watches every one of his players play.
