For the Fans: Enter for a Chance To Win Our Tailgating Giveaway
On this Super Bowl weekend, we’ve got a special sweepstakes for the fans—fans of books, fans of sports, fans of all things cool. We’ve teamed up with YETI Coolers for this dream prize for everyone tailgating at home this year. Enter for a chance to win Fans: How Watching Sports Makes Us Happier, Healthier, and More Understanding, the new book by New York Times bestselling author Larry Olmsted, and a Tundra 65 Hard Cooler from YETI Coolers.
It’s everything you need to keep up your true fandom during this very different sports year with its home tailgating and half-empty stadiums. Because, as you’ll read in Fans (available March 2), being a fan is good for us individually and is a force for positive change in society. Fans is a passionate reminder of how games, teams, and the communities dedicated to them are vital to our lives.
Olmsted turns his expertise to a subject that has never been fully explored, delivering a highly entertaining game changer that uses brand-new research to show us why being a sports fan is good for us individually and is a force for positive change in society. Fans is a passionate reminder of how games, teams, and the communities dedicated to them are vital to our lives.
Citing fascinating new studies on sports fandom, Fans makes the case that the more you identify with a sports team, the better your social, psychological, and physical health is; the more meaningful your relationships are; and the more connected and happier you are. Fans maintain better cognitive processing as their gray matter ages; they have better language skills; and college students who follow sports have higher GPAs, better graduation rates, and higher incomes after graduating. And there’s more: On a societal level, sports help us heal after tragedies, providing community and hope when we need it most.
Fans is the perfect gift for anyone who loves sports or anyone who loves someone who loves sports. Enter now for your chance to win this charming book—and a YETI cooler.
