What about this chapter you’ve chosen in particular leads you to these conclusions?

This semester we have had a chance via Foer’s book to get a better understanding of sport, identity, and conflict. We had examples of conflicts that were historically violent (in chapters 2 and 8), and one in which it was a cultural conflict (in chapter 7). In either case the association one kept with a soccer team was an expression of their allegiance in the conflict.

Choose one of these three chapters (2, 7, 8) in Foer and describe your reaction to the sporting space as conflict space. Are sports teams a good or bad proxy for a broader social identity? Do you believe that these sporting rivalries as micro-expressions of larger conflicts douse or enflame the historic antagonisms? What about this chapter you’ve chosen in particular leads you to these conclusions?

Finally, many of our readings this semester suggested in one way or another that European sporting culture was different (we might even say unique). Hooliganism and these historic rivalries do not have parallels in the U.S., Japan, South Korea, etc., other states with modern economies and thriving club sports scenes. Yet, I imagine you can find, relative to your chosen chapter, a similar example in the U.S. or another state that at least suggests a similar phenomenon. Describe this example noting the (dis)similarities.
