Another year passed by, the 6th European Football Fans’ Congress takes part in Amsterdam this weekend and meanwhile for seven years we develop the project “Freedom for the terraces”. Originally started as a part of an exhibition 2006 in Hamburg, the project became much more by now. It’s still kind of an exhibition – at least every year at the Football Fans’ Congress – but it’s also published as reader and actually it’s a really big research organised and developed by football supporters. And it’s still growing. This year we’re happy to announce that supporters of 34 countries took part and answered 14 questions about fans’ paraphernalia, police repression, ticket prices, pyrotechnics and much more. “Freedom of the terraces” is a project of ProFans in association with FSE. ProFans is a nationwide supporters’ organisation in Germany, dedicated in the fight of supporter’s rights. Actually ProFans and FSE just provide an organisational framework, but work is done by many other people around Europe resp. the world. We have to say that you did a fantastic work this year again. So, thank you very much, for answering our questions, connecting people or just being supportive! The result is magnificent!

Major League Soccer Case Study An Examination into the Future of the League Honors Advisor: . Honors Reader: . Matt Samost SPM 499 Honors Capstone Fall 2012 Abstract Major League Soccer has grown tremendously since its inception in 1996. The league, however, still is a work in progress. The overarching question of this case study deals with an examination into the future of the league. Will it continue to be a niche sport on the American sports landscape or will it challenge the big four leagues in the years to come? Broken into five subtopics, the case study looks to address this question by examining the league through multiple lenses in order to be able to take both an in-depth and wide look at the current condition of the league.

  • A Case Study of the Supporter Groups of the Colorado Rapids and Glocalization
    Friendly Competition: A Case Study of the Supporter Groups of the Colorado Rapids and Glocalization A thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Department of Sociology The Colorado College In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Arts Samuel Franklin Spring 2012 On my honor I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid on this thesis. Samuel Franklin Spring 2012 Acknowledgements I would like to thank everyone who made this project possible. I would like to thank my thesis advisor, Jeff Livesay, for his support and guidance throughout this journey. I would also like to thank Wayne Brant whose blessing made this project feasible. In addition, I would like to thank the Colorado Rapids organization and their supporters whose enthusiasm and contributions to this project were invaluable. Finally, I would like to thank my mom, my dad, my brother, and Lauren for their boundless encouragement. ABSTRACT The increasing presence of supporter groups, or organized fan groups driven by diverse cultural practices, of the Colorado Rapids has resulted in a non-traditional American spectator experience for some fans at games and is an area suitable for sociological study due to gaps in the body of literature. Using Giulianotti and Robertson’s (2007) theory of glocalization as a lens, this thesis examines the forces that are influencing the supporter groups. This study investigates the effect of the forces of globalization on the supporter groups of the Colorado Rapids. Qualitative methods and in-depth interviews were used to obtain information about these processes. This study found three forces simultaneously competing with one another in an effort to become the cultural norm for spectators at Colorado Rapids games.

  • One Region, Four Movements: Constructing Cascadia Through Rhetoric
    One Region, Four Movements: Constructing Cascadia through Rhetoric Thatcher Montgomery English Department Senior Honors Thesis Dietrich College, Carnegie Mellon University 29 April 2016 Thesis Adviser: Andreea Deciu Ritivoi Montgomery 2 Abstract Through traditional rhetorical analysis, this thesis examines arguments made for a ―Cascadia‖ regional identity (roughly located around Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia) made by four strands of Cascadian thought: Cascadia as a bioregion, as a nation, as a culture, and as an economic region. From each concept, two texts are analyzed to find the audience being targeted and the arguments being made. Examining how each Cascadia attempts to define itself and draw members—often by contrasting or coordinating with the other versions—shows some similarities, like pride in the natural environment, as well as clear distinctions, like differing opinions as to the boundaries of the region itself. The separate notions of Cascadia come with their own sets of values, and by looking at an overview of the arguments being made, this thesis provides insights into Cascadia specifically as well as regional identities in general. Montgomery 3 Introduction Where are you from? You might say Georgia, but maybe the South provides a richer description. Or maybe you‘re from Maine, but like the way New England sounds. I‘m from Washington State, but call the Pacific Northwest my home. Others would prefer to call it Cascadia. Larger than states but smaller than countries, regions are playing an ever-more-important role in today‘s globalizing world. How regions define themselves and argue for those definitions can help us see why they‘re playing larger parts, in areas from environmental protection to politics to economics.

Success, however, is very much a relative term. One must concede that MLS has helped bring professional soccer attention in the United States, played a role in the growth of the sport among America’s youth and experienced significant progress as a league since its inaugural season of 1996. However, the deficiencies of MLS were its struggle to compete nationally with the Big Four North American sports of baseball, American football, basketball and ice hockey, and its inability to convince the rest of the world that it offers a comparable, first-class brand of “football,” when measured against the “Big 5” European leagues.
