Summary
The features of new media are advancing between the mediums of television, internet, and mobile technology based on the union of computer and communication technologies. In England, where hooliganism was a serious social issue, the ‘Online Hooliganism Guide’ (the Crown Prosecution Service: CPS) was applied from early 2013’s World Cup semifinal match and continues to be in force today This ‘guide’ prohibits by law the abuse of athletes on the field or online, behavior that threatens violence and the property of an opposing team’s supporters, and discrimination against feminists, homosexuals, and people of color (http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/aug/23). Because there is a lack of research outcomes there is first and foremost a need for an academic definition on relevant concepts and a social consensus process so that systematic discussions on this subject can take place In this manner, as use of internet, smart phones, and other new media increases, aggressors and damaging acts are growing daily from the perspective of the general public and fans who encounter sports news, and its forms are diversifying and producing significant victims. This study considers the complexion of hooliganism in the new media environment to develop a more systematic discussion on hooliganism based on new media that is taking on altered forms from existing hooliganism, more systematically conceptualizes these identities, provides baseline data for research in relevant fields, and contributes to the creation and growth of a healthy sports cheering culture
