FANSFan's commitments to their favorite athletes often spill over into fan club activities. When they join a fan club, fans have access to athletic statistics, personal facts, schedules, and other information about the sports figure. The World Wide Web has increased access to fan clubs and information about favorite players.
Choose a sports figure who has a fan club on the internet. What features does the club offer to its members? Do you think it is worth joining? Why or why not? Discuss you findings by posting a comment. Hyperlink the site in your comment.
Some features the club offers are video galleries, image galleries, a message board, an official store, game information and news about himself. I believe it is worth joining due to the fact that it has so much to offer fans.

ReplyDeleteThis fan club offers some information about michael jordon. but it is not official. It is a site where you talk about the player. i wasnt able to see all the features because I am not a memeber. I wouldnt join this fan club only because it is not official.
i chose a fan club for martin broduer. the site offers stats a fre blog about martin broduer and a lot of information about he also answers some emails. i think the site is worth joining. it is worth joiningc beacuse it has a lot of cool stuff on the web site and im really loving the stats part. http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/martinbrodeur/
ReplyDeleteI went to carolina Pantehers fan club i think it is worth joining because you get to talk with the players and other fans. this club offers you to buy tickets and talk to players
ReplyDeleteSome fan clubs are annoying to get into becuase they want you to Register right away before you even know what the fan club is all about. The fan club could be something that you are completely not intrested in and once you sign up for it, you are commited to something you dont want to be in. I believe that sights like this are not worth joining becuase you don't know what you are joining with out joining it first.
ReplyDeleteThe person i choose is Terrell Owens. the fan club offers fans to be able to email terrell and ask him reliable questions. yes i think that this fan club is worth joining because i like T.O and i think that hes the best play in the world and i would want to ask him questions about his career and stuff about football. http://www.terrellowens.com/forums/index.php?act=idx
ReplyDeleteThe New York Rangers' fan club offers many benefits to members. There is a general meeting for all members in a location close to your town, a monthly newsletter only for fan club members, a membership card which entitles members to discounts on merchandise, and a "thank you" gift from the Rangers. The fan club also offers tickets to road games and an open practice in which most or all of the Rangers team attends. I do not think that the club is worth joining. The price to join is too high ($25), and I do not think that it is worth it since all members get is a Rangers review book, a mebership card, and a ticket to an open practice. Everything else you have to buy, and although there is some discount for members,tickets and merchandise are still exepnsive. http://www.nyrfanclub.com/
ReplyDeleteThe player I used to research a fan club is Kevin Garnett and from my findings I would definitely join his website. They have schedules, bios, and just about everything else. They even have a section where you can ask him questions and he will respond. It is a very well-run and organized site I would join in a heartbeat.
ReplyDeleteThe website is called www.kevingarnett.com/fanclub/
The New York Rangers fan club offers status on trips, convention, and more Club Event Photos - road trips, player sightings, and more recent NHL headlines status on trips, convention, and more NY Rangers Fan Club newsletter highlights receive urgent NY Rangers Fan Club messages. I think that it is worth joining because of all the things it has to offer and plus i am a Ranger fan.

ReplyDeleteThis club looks pretty cool. I think it gives Kobe Bryant a little bit of negative image for having a picture of him playing poker. This club has some pretty cool features. It has many pictures of Kobe Bryant, info on his career, and once every few weeks, Kobe will try to go on the website and talk to a few of the fans. I would probably join this club because it looks interesting and there's a chance of talking to Kobe himself.
I was once in the NYR junior fan club,i probably would go in it again becasue it was pretty cool and gave discounts for tickets and cards and a poster of the team. I went on the fan club because my top 3 favorite players were on the rangers, none of them are on it anymore though. I thought it was worth joining because all the stuff it gave you and you were able to contact the members.
ReplyDeletethe "older" website and fan club costs 25$ a year for an individual and 55$ a year for a family. for that fee, mostly everything is discounted. reading into this fanclub which is different from the one i was in, i noticed this one was more "hardcore" becasue the members were actualyl going on the road with the rangers. i think this would be pretty cool to join.

I found a michael jordan fan club. It wasnt a site that was offically made by himslef, it was made by one of the fans that he has. Though it is a site that you are able to talk with other michael jordan fans, but your not able to actually talk to him. I wouldnt join this site beause i ratyher talk with michael jordan himself.
ReplyDeleteThere were different things on the site including a messageboard, merchandise, a guestbook so u can sign it and say u r in the fan club. There is and image gallery and new about the team and a link to the eagles site. I think it is worth joining because u get to talk about the team with othere people
ReplyDeleteI found A Giants youth fan club. It allows the children of giants fans to be apart of the sports to. I think that if my parents were really big giants fan I would want to be apart of it. I dont think that you have to pay to be apart of the club. It is a really good idea to get young kids involved with sports. On the site it says that all the kids that are apart of this club got to be apart of a halftime game.

this fan club offers chats, files, photos, links, calenders and much more to the members. i would not join this fan club because you need to sign up to see anything. you cant preview anything so its hard to determine if its worth the time trying to join.

ReplyDeleteThe official online fan club of Michael Jordan. In this website you can see the latest news on MJ, talk to other fans around the world. There is also a members section but it's under constrution. I think when they finish with the website it would have great features, and would be worth joining.
