Why do football fans paint their faces? What are some of the best face paintings you've seen from fans?

According to psychologytoday. Com, "as fans don their favorite team's uniforms, paint their faces, and affix team flags to houses and cars alike, it's a good time to ask why do people do these things........in psychology, the phenomenon of Basking in Reflected Glory (BIRGing) helps to explain how the performance of one's favorite sports team can change one's sense of self-worth. Specifically, people will symbolically associate themselves with others, such as sports teams, in order that their successes rub off on themselves, increasing one's own self-esteem.

I believe football fans paint their faces for a variety of reasons. Some people want their 30 seconds of fame for getting their face on television. Others may want to draw attention to themselves from other people attending the football game with them.

Some fans may think they can intimidate people with face paint. I think the best face painting football fans are those of the Oakland Raiders. While I like the dog masks of the Browns fans, nobody can be Raiders fans for face painting at football games.As a Kansas City Chiefs fan whose team plays the Raiders twice a year, I have my own ideas on Raiders fans face paint.

They do it to keep their parole officers from knowing what they are doing, to keep American’s Most Wanted from finding them, and to hide their ugly faces! But for whatever the reason I feel the Oakland Raiders fans are the best face painters in sports.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
