After spending my life in the shadows, all I ever wanted was to feel special, to be seen. So, when the hottest guy on our hockey team decides he wants me, I'm shocked, and thrilled. Until a player from a rival team challenges my boyfriend to a bet-and wins. Oh, did I mention I'm the prize. For one solid month I belong to the enemy. Except it's hard to think of him as the enemy when he showers me with tender touches, soft kisses, and shows me what it's really like to feel special, to be seen. How could I not fall for a guy like that? But, when our thirty days end, and the enemy proves to be the man I've always needed, I'm faced with an unsettling truth-it's possible he's the only one who doesn't believe it. Was I nothing more than a pawn in a game of hate?

Rivalry is omnipresent in sports given the nature of competition in sports. Sports fans likely can easily and quickly name a few rivalries from a variety of sports at either the professional or collegiate level, such as El Classico between Barcelona and Real Madrid. The long history of sports rivalry, the high exposure and rich stories produced by the sports media, the human and financial resources invested in rivalry games, and the frequent appearance of rivalries in sports fans' discussions, all highlight the importance of sports rivalry. The purpose of this study is to explore distant fans' perceptions of sports rivalry as a phenomenon with three major topics: (1) distant fans' perceptions of sports rivalry, (2) the antecedents contributing to the perceived sports rivalry of distant fans, and (3) distant fans' feelings of Schadenfreude, as well as the differences regarding these three topics toward the top and the secondary rival teams. This study will also include an examination of the role of team identification in association with the primary research topics.The current study utilized online questionnaires to gather data among distant fans of Liverpool FC from the United States, South Korea, China, Malaysia, and Singapore. Convenience sampling was used and questionnaires were distributed through the Official Liverpool Supporters Clubs from the listed countries. The information collected was analyzed using R-Studio and SPSS. Frequency analyses were conducted for the demographic questions and major research questions. Additionally, a qualitative analysis of distant fans' socializing agents and influencing factors was provided. The assessment of reliability and the assumptions were checked before testing the hypotheses. The hypotheses examining the differences between the top and secondary rivals, as well as between the high and moderate identification fans, were tested by MANCOVA and ACNOVA. The association between team identification and rivalry perceptions as well as Schadenfreude were tested by simple linear regression and weighted regression. The key findings of the current study were three folds. Firstly, distant fans were likely to identify mass media as the socializing agents introducing them to their favorite sports team, including television, print media, social media, and Esports. Players, specific games, and team spirit were frequently mentioned when distant fans talked about the factors influencing them to become a fan. Secondly, in line with prior research, distant fans would not like to support the rivals when playing against a third party and had strong sense of satisfaction when their favorite team winning a direct game against the rivals. Highly identified distant fans were inclined to have stronger negative perceptions and feelings Schadenfreude against the rivals than fans with lower team identification. Thirdly, inconsistent with previous findings, distant fans did not perceive differently towards the top and secondary rivals nor have different levels of feelings of Schadenfreude. Distant fans perceived greater importance in relative dominance, defining moments, competition for personnel, and unfairness, while considered geography and cultural similarity least important in shaping the perceived rivalries.

This book focuses on how rivalry influences fan perceptions and behaviors, the role of organizations to responsibly promote rivalries, and discusses how to decrease negative and group-member deviance surrounding sport rivalry. Rivalry is a phenomenon that helps organizations and participants increase their output while also engaging fans. The author argues that the goal of rivalry should be to increase engagement and interest in the product without stepping over a sometimes invisible line resulting in fan or group member negativity, deviance, and violence. Through the introduction of two scales that specifically measure how group members react to out-groups in the sport setting, this book offers scholars deeper insights into what rivalry means and how it can be used to responsibly promote the sport product.

Rivals is both the ultimate directory of football derbies and a collection of the stats that 'really matter' for the English League Clubs. Forget the dry and oft-quoted football facts, 'Rivals' arms the reader with a completely new set of fan-based stats. Find out which club has the highest 'nutter rating' (arrests per 1,000 attendance), or the worst 'Your ground's too big for you' ranking! Which club offers their supporters the worst 'Fans' value-for-money' (admission price as a ratio of 5 year league position!) There are many intriguing, often funny, stories behind the web of little publicised, though frequently intense, rivalries between clubs and fans. With many contributions from supporters, the book examines the extraordinary cult of British Football Derbies, looking at the inter-town and regional biases, stereotypes, and opinions that fans have about their footballing rivals. At 240pp, Rivals is a light-hearted collection of statistics, fans' testimony and boundless trivia. The book uncovers the amusing, bizarre, and sometimes alarming portraits of the intensity of fans' feelings, and the way in which they perceive other teams, towns and cities. It has a clear format pulling together diverse facts. Attractively designed with information given under headings allowing the reader to compare various facts on a club-to-club basis, the text can be read from cover to cover or dipped into.

On May 18, 1860, William H. Seward, Salmon P. Chase, Edward Bates, and Abraham Lincoln waited in their hometowns for the results from the Republican National Convention in Chicago. When Lincoln emerged as the victor, his rivals were dismayed and angry. Throughout the turbulent 1850s, each had energetically sought the presidency as the conflict over slavery was leading inexorably to secession and civil war. That Lincoln succeeded was the result of a character that had been forged by life experiences that raised him above his more privileged and accomplished rivals. He won because hepossessed an extraordinary ability to put himself in the place of other men, to experience what they were feeling, to understand their motives and desires. This capacity enabled President Lincoln to bring his disgruntled opponents together, create the most unusual cabinet in history, and marshal their talents to preserve the Union and win the war.

The current study explored how fan identification and negative rival perception affect the decision to blast or support the rival in indirect competition in college football. 258 participants (M age=24.15, 51.16% female) responded after being targeted via social media, email, and in person. Fans higher in identification had a more negative rival perception, were more likely to blast the rival, and were less likely to support the rival in indirect competition. A negative rival perception increased blasting and decreased rival support. The results contribute to current literature on rivalry and fan identification and aid marketers in marketing segmentation and targeting new segments to increase viewership and attendance.
