About
I cannot contain my excitement when it comes to being a Boston Celtics fan! It all started when my older brother Ray invited me to attend a game with his co- workers. From that moment on, I was hooked. The atmosphere of the TD Garden had me on the edge of my seat at every game, cheering for the team I had grown to love. I have followed their journey since then, watching them win championships and endure tough losses as they fought their way to the top. This team has become a part of who I am, and I wear my green and white with pride. Being a Celtics fan means being passionate about the game and supporting your team through thick and thin, no matter what challenges come their way..The Mind of the Sports Superfan

Most sports fans root for their favorite teams. Then there are those who build their entire lives around them. These are the people who go shirtless in a football stadium on a freezing day, who paint their faces and get custom tattoos of their favorite N.B.A. players, who scream jubilantly at the television in victory—and who sometimes smash that television in defeat. The Oregon-based writer George Dohrmann spent three years travelling the country interviewing sports diehards to write his book “Superfans: Into the Heart of Obsessive Sports Fandom,” which will be published this month. Dohrmann argues that the United States has become a nation of sports diehards, in which fans are groomed very young and team affiliation can be just as important to people as their religion or their job. In “The Psychology of the Superfan,” part of our “Obsessions” video series, which documents cultural fascinations, Dohrmann looks at some of the nation’s most devout fans and discovers something hopeful about their devotion to their teams. “It’s one of the few things left in our society that bridges our divides,” Dohrmann says. “And, in that way, our fandom is really important.” The New Yorker offers a signature blend of news, culture, and the arts. It has been published since February 21, 1925.
