Does an Alabama Crimson Tide fan have what it takes to be FanSided’s Sports Fan of the Year? Are you the best sports fan in the country?
This is your chance to convince FanSided that you are the biggest sports fan in the country! We’ll send you and a guest to New York City to attend the annual Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the Year event and name you Sports Fan of the Year!
Imagine Lou Gehrig giving his farewell speech to a vacant Yankee Stadium or Michael Jordan hitting “The Shot” in front of empty seats. Without the fans, there is no roar, there is no electricity, there is no glory.
Last year, we decided it was finally time to recognize the nameless faces watching from the bleachers when we named Dennis Gleason the inaugural Sports Fan of the Year.
How Do I Qualify For FanSided’s Sports Fan Of The Year?
The FanSided Sports Fan of the Year is a person who exemplifies dedication, integrity and “Fansmanship” all for the love of the game.
What exactly is “Fansmanship”?
Just as athletes exhibit and strive for good sportsmanship, fans strive to exhibit good Fansmanship. Good Fansmanship means representing the teams you follow and the communities they represent in a positive way at all times. In doing so, a fan perpetuates all that is good about sports and sports fandom.
Every fan has a story. We want to hear yours.
Be sure to read the full contest rules as restrictions do apply. We can’t wait to start reading/viewing your submissions.
