"In general terms, people view mediated sports because they expect positive emotional impacts from their viewing. These emotional reactions to sport programming are assumed to be dependent upon and governed by the affiliations - or affective dispositions - that viewers hold toward one (or both) of the competing teams.

"Some contend that this so-called eustress motivation is theoretically driven by the chronic underestimations experienced by many individuals in their daily lives (Gantz 1981: Gantz & Wenner 1991,1995; Krohn, et al., 1998; Smith, 1988: Wann, 1995; Wann, et al., 1999,2001: Wenner & Gantz, 1998)"
"Another source of the thrill experienced when consuming mediated sports seems to be the perceived violence contained in the action.
