[Air-L] Sports, fandom, and new media

[Jacqueline Vickery]

Hello all,
I am wondering if anyone is aware of some qualitative or quantitative
research about sports and new media. I'm particularly interested in how
sports fans are using message boards, cell phones, twitter, blogs, and other
digital media to extend their communities and further perform their fan
identities. Even more specifically, I am interested in American college
football fans, but any research about sports fandom as it intersects with
digital media would be really helpful.

Thank you much,
- jacqueline
