“Fanaticus” Extreme Sports Fanaticism Book Launch | SF

Submitted by the Event Organizer

In Fanaticus: Mischief and Madness in the Modern Sports Fan author and ESPN producer Justine Gubar explores the roots of extreme sports fanaticism. At any game anywhere in the world, fans get kicked out and arrested for misbehavior and violence.

To understand why, Gubar revisits notorious fan riots, investigates sports leagues and beverage companies, and interviews football hooligans and security experts. The result is a rare window into what drives this ferocious human behavior.

Beer and snacks served. Fan-gear welcomed. Good behavior encouraged.
