Fanaticus by Justine Gubar Pdf

In 2011, the San Francisco 49ers hosted the Oakland Raiders in a preseason matchup that would become a seminal moment for fan violence. During the game, seventy fans were ejected from the stadium, one person was beaten unconscious in the men’s room, and two men were shot in the parking lot after the game. This is hardly an isolated incident. At any given game, fans get kicked out and arrested for acting out. In the spring of 2014 alone, soccer headlines screamed of a fan killed in Brazil, a supporter who punched a police horse in England, and three fans shot in Italy. But why do fans resort to such violence? What drives them to abandon societal norms and act out in unimaginable ways? Fanaticus: Mischief and Madness in the Modern Sports Fan explores the roots of extreme fanaticism, from organized thuggery to digital hate speech. Justine Gubar divulges outrageous and often shocking incidents, including first-hand accounts from both the transgressors and victims. Gubar reaches back into ancient times, providing a history of fan violence throughout the ages before delving into events of misbehavior, violence, and hatred in the United States and around the world. She revisits several notorious riots and tragedies throughout the United States, Europe, Asia, and Latin America in order to understand mayhem on a global scale. In addition, Gubar investigates the sports leagues and the security and beverage industries so as to explain the roots of fan misbehavior and to dispel common myths that are often invoked to understand the madness. Featuring original interviews with European football hooligans, rioting college students, stadium security experts, and many others, Fanaticus provides a rare window into what drives human behavior. Together, these voices create the fullest picture of modern fan violence ever written.

Sport and the Christian Religion by Andrew Parker,Nick J. Watson Pdf

This book provides a systematic and interdisciplinary analysis of the published literature and practical initiatives on the sports-Christianity interface from both Protestant and Catholic perspectives. Within the context of this relatively new and rapidly expanding area of inquiry, this text offers an original contribution to the current literature for both undergraduate and postgraduate students and serves as a point of reference for academics from a wide range of related fields including theology and religious studies, psychology, history, sociology, philosophy, psychology, health-religion studies, and sports studies. The book will also be of interest to sports chaplains, those involved in sports ministry organizations, physical educators and sports coaches who wish to adopt a more critical and ‘holistic’ approach to their work. As modern-day sports are often entwined with commercial and political agendas, the book also provides an important response to the ‘win-at-all-costs’ and business orientated philosophy, which characterises much of contemporary sport practice, yet which cannot always be fully understood through secular inquiry.

Cowboys & Indians & India by Moonpickle Pdf

Ame N. dreams almost every night and interprets them through the Dreamer’s Dictionary by Lady Stearn Robinson, which is the only dream dictionary that she discovered in the earlier ’90s. Because she has looked at it so frequently, it has fallen apart, and she has had to buy more than one. Now she basically has the book memorized. Since her dreams have such an impact on her, she uses them in everyday life, which is what she learned to do when she took a dream class at Agneta’s in West Hartford, Connecticut, in the spring of 2000. After that was when she began to keep a record of her dreams in the Dreamland Companion by Ilan Kutz, which she bought in the earlier ’90s and read in the mid ’90s. She has so many dreams it is impossible to write them all down, including the details, which are vital. She wrote Cowboys & Indians because she had a dream seeing the simple, popular book. She knew the inside had to be complex, so she added & India for its long journey.
