“…The growth of the wealthy football flaneur has impacted on the ability of the true, but financially poorer, supporter to follow the team through match attendance (Giulianotti 2002). The original working class masculine supporter is gradually being replaced by so called "genuine" middle class spectators with a claimed interest in family football, spectacle and skill (Taylor 1971;Dunning 1986). …”

The purpose of this paper is to develop detailed insight into loyalty among football fans of Hibernian FC, moving beyond typologies to a more socially grounded approach. Issues explored include patterns of consumption, distinctions between fan groups, and antecedents of loyalty. The origins and development of the club are evaluated, and consumer fanaticism, football fan loyalty, consumption behaviour, and the sociological impact of fan communities are discussed. Data were collected using a variety of methods, including participant observation, in-depth interviews, and analysis of websites and fan forums. Key findings relate to the impact of family and community influences on loyalty, initial experiences of developing associations with the club, through to the impact of socialisation, and the lived experience of being a supporter. A supporter matrix is constructed as a portrayal of the loyalty found at the club. A range of theoretical implications is considered, and the matrix promoted as a tool for understanding loyalty in clubs with similar social structures and community connections

“…La fortaleza física se convirtió en indicador del prestigio nacional. Y, en tercer lugar, como una reivindicación de la masculinidad, vinculada al componente militar y a la extensión del tiempo de ocio entre los trabajadores (Dunning, 1994), con la participación laboral femenina restringida al hogar, de nuevo emulando los patrones sociales dominantes.…”

ResumenEste artículo trata de mostrar, a través de diversos ejemplos, la importancia del deporte en la configuración de los niveles identitarios en los que se han movido los seres humanos desde el siglo XIX. La asociación con el nacionalismo, regímenes totalitarios y dictaduras, no ha desgastado la capacidad de los deportes para vincular a las comunidades. En muchas ocasiones, esa capacidad integradora tiene un importante carácter defensivo, lo que impide considerar las prácticas deportivas como mero reflejo de la modernidad. De ahí la necesidad de buscar la historización de las identidades deportivas, contextualizando y buscando el análisis interdisciplinar para evitar visiones reduccionistas.Palabras clave: Deporte; identidad; modernidad defensiva; nación. Sport and identity, or how to define ourselves AbstractThis article tries to show through various examples, the significance of sport in the shaping of human beings' identities since the nineteenth century. The association with nationalism, totalitarian regimes and dictatorships, has not eroded the ability of sport to connect communities. In many cases, this inclusiveness has an important defensive feeling, preventing to consider sports practices as a mere reflection of modernity. Hence the need to historicize sporting identities, contextualizing and seeking interdisciplinary analysis to avoid reductionist views.

“…Anderson, 2009a;Dunning, 1986;Sheard & Dunning, 1973;Messner, 1990;1992). Arguably, the role of sport in validating and/or engendering socially valued forms of male identity has been one of the most consistently discussed themes in this field, with 'combat sports' frequently hailed as being especially important in this regard; boxing, for instance, is often described as being considered 'essentially' masculine in Western contexts (Hargreaves, 1997;Woodward, 2004).…”
