In this episode of Heart of a Fan, we dive deep into the emotional and social impact of the Philadelphia Eagles' Super Bowl victory. This wasn't just a win on the field—it was a victory for a city, a community, and fans around the world.
We explore the powerful concepts of Collective Effervescence, Basking in Reflected Glory (BIRGing), and the Emotional Benefits of Shared Experiences, all through the lens of Eagles Nation. From fans celebrating with strangers on Broad Street to those honoring loved ones who couldn't be there, this episode captures the heart and soul of what it means to be a Philadelphia Eagles fan.
Join us as we share fan stories, expert insights, and a deep look into how sports victories create lifelong memories and a sense of belonging.
