Online Space

The online space that I will be observing is a community in the sports niche that can have

groups dedicated to soccer, to be precise, soccer fans. Soccer is a significant example of a

unifying societal factor that brings together asocial culture. It is particulary a kind of sport that

includes everybody. In this case, there is no exceptional relation with the sport, but individuals

who play the sport expertly attain a higer societal status. Anybody can attempt to reach out for an

expert group, and if they do well enough, they will make the group.

At the end of the observation, I hope to gain a lot because, soccer bring everybody

together, regardless of their social status in society. in this regard, a soccer participant can be

coming from a poor background, but he can attain a high status if he works hard and devotes his

time to soccer. If one is poor and eventually gains a good societal status, this will ultimately

result to generating a lot of cash. The top cocker player, on average earns over 10 million dollars

in a year.

Another significant fact about soccer is that it is a sport played by both males and

females. It is a sport that does not discriminate against gender. This is probably why the sport is

so popular. Some famous players are both males and females. There is no religious significance

to soccer. It is just a pastime. Baseball is America’s pastime, while soccer is the pastime for the

rest of the world.

Among the various themes that stood out was the fact that Soccer brings peoples

together. It could help fans create new friends or new rivals. In most cases, a custom is an

appreciated standard for how individuals act that is frequently unrecorded and earned

involuntarily via socialization.


An example of this is when each country's national anthems are played at the beginning

of matches. This is not a law but is a sign of respect. During this ceremony, all the players and

fans stand in silence while someone sings the anthem. This norm of the national anthem brings

both fans and players together. Another social purpose of soccer is when fans go to the soccer

stadium and watch the game with other fans. Some fans color their faces and have body art all

over them. These are avid fans and will do anything for their team.

The sensations of nuisance occuring too immense activities swiftly happening in sports

that have joint spectator’s hearts. They mostly portray a strong psychological tie. They are

included in teams that have rituals and values, which is illustrated through non-verbal and verbal

symbols like logos, uniforms, hats, scarves, yells or chants. In the contemporary soccer, the

psychological tie among fans and the team is controlled in this manner. This space is further

socialized and has become a policy for the fans. In this case, the type of socialization formed is

more current, not only in scarf, costume, hat or jersey, but also through yells, singing, verbal

speech and typical nonverbal movment performed online and social media. All of these things

are carried out to build character, loyalty and love to the club.

Moreover, loyalty and identity development tends to formulate in-group and out-group

sensation that enhances stereotypes. in this regard, the in-group sensation is the strong

admiration in the team
