Survey about sport fan behavior for research project.

Dec 06, 2004 14:26

I'm conducting a quick little survey among folks about fan behavior in sports for one of my classes. I'd be mighty appreciative if folks would consider taking it. It's not that long (5 questions, multiple choice), and hopefully won't take longer than 5 minutes. Feedback about the survey is appreciated as well! Thanks!
