Abstract:
Many explanations exist for the resurgence of the Major League Baseball (MLB) fan base following the 1994-1995 strike. The most prevalent explanations include the 1998 McGuire-Sosa homerun race and Cal Ripken Jr.’s consecutive games record. While such explanations certainly impacted fan interest in the sport, it is remiss to ignore the impact of online fantasy baseball leagues, which surfaced in 1997. This article examines the extent to which participating in a fantasy baseball league influences the MLB game attendance. The results strongly suggest that fantasy baseball participation positivel

Abstract:
The controversy over whether fantasy sports should be considered a new form of gambling was investigated. The predominance rule was used to operationally define gambling. This rule states that an activity is gambling if outcomes are due more to chance than to skill. Individuals active in a fantasy baseball league (commonly referred to as "owners") and individuals who had never entered any type of fantasy league ("non-owners") participated. Perceptions of skill-to-chance ratios were assessed and a content analysis of the specific skill and chance features involved in fantasy baseball was conduc

Abstract:
The business of fantasy football is a multibillion dollar-per-year industry. However, academic inquiry into the distinct attitudes and intentions of fantasy football participants is underdeveloped. Therefore, following Fazio, Powell, and Herr’s proposed attitude–behavior framework, this study examined the relationship between sport fans’ attitudes, fantasy football involvement level, and intentions to watch the televised broadcast of National Football League (NFL) games. The results suggest that fantasy football is a noteworthy connection point for NFL fans. Specifically, fantasy participation

Abstract:
In 2006, Congress passed the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. Contained within the finance and banking statute designed to curb the ability of gambling websites to process payments was an exemption for certain forms of fantasy sports games. The so-called fantasy sports exemption was widely misperceived as a blanket exemption legalizing all compliant fantasy sports games, this proved to be false as various state attorney generals, beginning in 2015, began to examine whether daily fantasy sports games were compliant with state gambling laws. This brought renewed focus to the statute,

Fantasy baseball, a game invented in 1980, allows baseball fans to become managers of pretend baseball teams. In most fantasy baseball leagues, participants choose teams consisting of major league players who they believe will do well in five offensive categories (batting average, home runs, runs batted in, stolen bases, and runs scored) or in five pitching categories. We bring a fantasy baseball activity into entry-level statistics classes.

Abstract:
Sports fans often scrutinise the team selection strategies employed by their favourite team's coach or selection panel. Many of these fans believe that they can perform the selection process far better than those tasked with the responsibility. Fantasy leagues, provide a platform for fans to test their hand at this selection procedure. Twenty20 cricket is a new and exciting form of cricket and has become very popular in recent years. This research focuses on bringing these concepts together by proposing a binary integer program to determine a team selection strategy for fantasy league cricket.

This paper investigates presence of the superstar effect among users of the Czech fantasy league during seasons between years 2010 and 2013. Both main views are taken into consideration, namely Rosen's and also Adler's theory. Using regression models employing the method of least squares for panel data I show a positive superstar effect according to Rosen's theory in case when the star players are defined by their ability to score great amounts of goals. The presence of a positive superstar effect according to Adler's theory is not apparent in the models, which can be caused by the authors of

This thesis explores how a group of 17 male youth athletes, and their families, experience competitive hockey. Many of the youths seem to forge fantasy relationships with hockey celebrities, heroes, and stars -- e.g. Sidney Crosby -- emulating them with regard to the "best" attitudes, equipment, and styles of play to have or use. Their parents invest considerable amounts of money and time into their sons' participation in hockey, not because they necessarily share their sons' dreams of athletic stardom, but because they hope that it will help instill community-defined "positive" values into

Abstract:
The political conflict over the United Kingdom’s relationship to Europe was dominated by projections of sovereignty, particularly the ‘restoration’ of political sovereignty from Brussels to Westminster. This chapter explores two different aspects of this projection of sovereignty as a desire to take back control and regain ‘people’s agency’. The first aspect concerns its role as collective fantasy in which the chapter traces the ways in which the image of sovereignty was constructed and deployed in the campaign to Vote Leave. In particular, it considers how the conception of the nation as a sovereign people was central to the political mobilisation of Brexit and has persisted as a key reference point for continuing conflicts over Brexit. The second aspect concerns the emergent disjuncture between the political temporality implied in the Leave campaign and the return of governmental temporality. In doing so, the chapter draws on and develops Taguieff’s insight that populist political discourse suspends time in favour of a continuous present. In the process, the fantasy of the sovereign people has continued to play a central role in the denunciation of delay, doubt and dissent.

Abstract:
This chapter shows the steps whereby the tenant for years came to be protected against his lessor, and thereby to acquire an estate in land; the lease, though a chattel, became a ‘chattel real’. This required an act of judicial legislation in turning the trespassory action of ejectment – for ejecting a lessee from possession - into a real action by which the ejected lessee could be restored to possession. Ejectment was then seen to work more effectively than the real actions and assizes available to freeholders, and so a way was found of using it to displace them. Its perfection as an action for freeholders involved an elaborate fantasy with imaginary parties and imaginary leases; the procedure is illustrated. Finally, there are discussions about the possibility of creating entails and future estates in terms of years.

Abstract:
My earliest memory—was I two? three?—is of a nurse or babysitter who was dressed in white and had a bad smell. When she came into my room, I would pretend to be asleep. She looked down at me (I could sense her presence), then, satisfied by my closed eyes and quiet, if shallow, breathing, would turn and leave the room. Soon her odor would go away, too, and I could breathe deeply again. This taught me a lesson of dubious value: when helpless in a situation, pretending can give you power. I, a small, weak child, had controlled the movements of an enormous, smelly adult. It was some time later, I suppose, when I learned that pretending usually doesn’t work. Although I can’t recall the time or place, I know that on one grim day of disillusionment and reckoning I discovered that when I closed my eyes I didn’t become invisible; I couldn’t transport bullies to distant, foul places by imagining them there or alter the course of unwelcome events by pretending they were otherwise. Healthy children come to know the difference between pretending that is relaxing, stabilizing, healing, necessary—we call it fantasy—and pretending that is dangerous. A hot fire burns, even if we pretend that it won’t. In our personal lives most (but not all) of us learn to instantly distinguish harmless from harmful pretending, so we do not pretend in away that endangers our lives or physical well-being. Strangely enough, society as a whole is a different story. For at least the past fifty years, probably longer, we have been working hard as a high-tech civilization to ignore the limits of safe pretending, even to blot them out of our collective memory. And the more obvious the warning signals, the more blatant our pretending has become. A few examples will make the point. The first example is genetic engineering. In the late 1950s, I was fortunate to have as one of my teachers a visiting professor from England, Francis Crick of Watson and Crick fame, who taught part of an upper-level biochemistry course on the structure of macromolecules, especially desoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA.
