Emotionality? Yeah, a little.

Check out page five.

The items created for use in this inventory are based on a conglomeration of the ideas and research presented in the sport spectator literature by several different authors (e.g., Sloan, 1979; Smith et al., 1981; Wann & Branscombe, 1993; Wann et al., 1999). The inventory recognizes that both positive and negative aspects of being a sports fan exist as illustrated by the behaviors and emotions of these fans. One of the most telling aspects of being a fan is the emotional involvement a person has with his/her team. Eisler (1997) presented a picture of the sports fan whose emotional balance hangs on his team's performance, with losses being devastating and causing real emotional pain. It is believed that this emotionality will have an impact on the fan's behavior.

Season tickets? Check. Wear team colors? Check. Talk to others about team? Check. (Ad nauseum, I suspect.)

Lost sleep?

Oh, baby. I couldn't sleep at all last night, but of course I had to get up today to get to the park for the baseball game. I should have napped during the rain delay.

And the baseball game? Let's check #11 (stress) and #14 (cheer regardless of performance), oh, and #17 (Watch games until end, if team is losing.)

How much time is spent on team interest?

All of it, of course.

Hey, I'm not drinking, fighting, booing, or hating. (Well, maybe a wee bit of hate toward the fighting, booing drunks.) It isn't having a negative impact.

Although...I gave actual serious consideration to going to a radio station and letting them shave my hair into a mohwak in exchange for a ticket to Friday's hockey game. Luckily I was able to score one in a less disfiguring way, but if push comes to shove...
