Abstract

Responsible parenting, racism, homophobia and demarcation of indigenous lands: these were some of the topics addressed by Brazilian soccer clubs in campaigns, especially on social media, in 2019. How big is this interference? How do these actions reach the fans? Is it possible that a team, through the passion it stimulates, will also become a vector for social change? We found some answers to these and other questions in this research, based on a questionnaire answered by 310 Brazilians, aged between 18 and 60 years. It was possible to glimpse, with the possibility of deepening, interesting aspects about participation, engagement and the power of the Internet in this process - capable, for example, of making fans appreciate and feel stimulated even by the actions of rival teams.
