The shared experience of sport

This week around campus, athletic endeavors–the Richmond Spiders basketball team along with the Olympic games (even curling)–are common topics of conversation. In the Jepson School, we’re wondering what people think of fans, followers and the impact the shared experience of sport can have on groups of people. How can the shared experience matter to leadership and community?

  • Sports Illustrated says, “Be Very Afraid” – the Spiders are FIERCE! The spirit of he red and blue is on fire!: http://ow.ly/1beJA
