Corporate Cheerleaders: Major League Soccer's new breed of manufactured ultras

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

This is a six week ethnographic study examining the commercial leash that Major League Soccer has over its supporter groups in North America’s top-tier of football, and how this is impacting on the number of incidents of fan-related violence on match days. This study will reveal the full extent of the corporate stranglehold that the single-entity governance structure has had on fan behaviour in the stands.
