To date, academic research has primarily been confined to traditional sports and limited to off-field occurrences. This study questions whether fans react differently to off-field athlete behaviour based on their support for traditional or non-traditional sporting teams. Established professional leagues and teams are referred to as ‘traditional’, verses newer leagues and teams, often within regions where the sport does not have a traditional footprint, being referred to as ‘non- traditional’. The research extends team identification and social identity theory literature around how athlete behaviour interacts with team identification and consumer intentions on a comparative basis, in traditional and non-traditional sport settings.
