4.0

4.5/5, maybe. I really liked this - like the name suggests it looks at football from those who you might think are on the fringes of fandom: women, literary types, LGBT fans, Indigenous fans, Sydneysiders. It was interesting to read what drew these people to the game and what they found in it and how it has changed for them over the years, but also in some cases what makes them question their devotion. Erin Riley in particular writing that she doesn't know how long she can keep her fandom going for a sport that doesn't give all that much about her as a woman resonated.
