足球是美国的一项主要运动，因为它戏剧性地体现了暴力、官僚主义、性别歧视和商业主义的社会价值观。内布拉斯加州特别吸引了这款游戏的玩家。内布拉斯加州地理面积大，人口少，主要是农村人口，球迷们将内布拉斯加州的足球提升为一种重要的仪式和身份来源。作为狂热的支持者，他们穿着球队的颜色，红色和白色；参与赛前和赛后的庆祝活动；长途旅行；并在情感上表达他们对“大红”的忠诚和奉献。将欧文·戈夫曼的戏剧视角与维克多·特纳的阈性和共同体概念结合起来，我们就有了一个分析和评价现代社会文化戏剧的理论框架。内布拉斯加州的足球作为一种戏剧性的仪式，揭示了它在美国社会中创造性和破坏性的根源。
Football is a major sport in the United States because of its dramatic enact ment of social values of violence, bureaucracy, sexism, and commercialism. The spec tators of this game are particularly enthralled in the state of Nebraska. Here, a state with a large geographical area and a small, predominanty rural population, the fans have elevated Nebraska fottball to a significant ritual and source for iden tification. As avid supporters they dress in the team colors, red and white; partici pate in pre- and postgame celebrations; travel great distances; and emotionally express their loyalty and dedication to "Big Red.'' By combining the dramaturgical perspective of Erving Goffman with Victor Turner's concepts of liminality and communitas, we have a theoretical framework for analyzing and evaluating cultural dramas in modern society. Nebraska football as a dramatic ritual, then, reveals its creative and destructive roots in American society.
