Even more puzzling was the finding that this decrease occurred regardless of French fans' political concerns about minorities and environmental issues—the best predictors of boycott intentions.
In other words, politicized fans struggled to maintain the boycott.

Then, we compared fans' intentions before the WC with their actual boycott behavior after the tournament.
We observed a decrease in all countries, but it was only significant in France—likely due to limited statistical power in other countries and the strong performance of the French team.

We investigated boycott intentions in France, Belgium, Canada, and Switzerland (N = 1,635).
Boycott intentions were tied to concerns about environmental and minority issues.
Rejection of the boycott was best predicted by strong identification with the team and enjoying football’s aesthetic appeal.

New paper on sports fans and political behaviors now in press at bsky.app/profile/ispp...
In late 2022, @paulinegrippa.bsky.social and I conducted an intercultural, longitudinal study on fans' motives for (not) boycotting the 2022 World Cup.

We used a social identity perspective to further explore attitudes toward the ESL.
We suggested that team narcissists were favourable toward the ESL due to fair-weather fandom tendencies, while long-term identifiers saw it as a threat.
