  • Summary

  • It's not a great time to be a fan. The hooligan, the violent and illogical fanatic who will commit crimes to defend their faves, is no longer found only in sports. The hooligan can be found worshipping pop stars, politicians, Netflix shows, and comic book characters. There they are, issuing death threats to those who dare to criticize a singer-songwriter. They are in your mentions, swarming you for not liking a video game. Jessa and Nico take the moment of Jürgen Klopp's departure from Liverpool FC to think about the state of fandom, what it gives and what it takes and what it requires from us.
