Inquiry Question

I read the novel, The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. The main themes of this novel are identity, censorship, surveillance and the power and control that certain people have over them. The themes of power, control and identity lead me to my inquiry question which is, "How do sports teams manage to keep their fans loyal throughout on season and off season?" I decided to ask a question related to sports because that is one of my favourite hobbies to do and I wanted to find out more information about sports teams. The amount of dedication that you would put into your team of your favourite sport depends on a lot of different variables. The amount of time you have, the tradition that runs in your family, just for your entertainment or even how well your team is doing are all factors of your favourite team and how much time you put into your team. This inquiry question that I came up with gave me a lot of insight on how some professional teams have a bigger fan base throughout the whole season rather than other teams who have a much smaller fan base during certain periods of the season.
