  1. A functional analysis of cheating and corruption in sports.Sinclair A. MacRae - 2023 - Journal of the Philosophy of Sport 50 (1):116-132.

    There appears to be a paradox at the heart of the psychology of partisan sport fandom.

The essay tries to explain why the paradox cannot be adequately or usefully understood as a mere conflict of desires or clash between purism and partisanship.
