1. Title:
   Hockey in group and out group - Intro to Psychology
2. Description:

3. 290 0:00 - 0:04
   Maybe you have the stereotype that women don't like hockey. Well I'm here to be
4. 3695 0:04 - 0:09
   the exception to the rule for your stereotype, because I love hockey. Wait, let
5. 9070 0:09 - 0:13
   me clarify that. I'm a Detroit Red Wings fan. That's right, I have only one
6. 12886 0:13 - 0:16
   team that I'm in favor of, and that's the Detroit Red Wings. Now when I was
7. 16370 0:16 - 0:19
   living in Michigan in the Detroit area, I would run into other Red Wings fans
8. 19458 0:19 - 0:24
   all the time. Everywhere we went somebody had on a t-shirt, they had on their
9. 23876 0:24 - 0:28
   hats. They had on their jerseys. And it was awesome. But now that we're talking
10. 28422 0:28 - 0:31
    about the Red Wings, that's going to bring us to our next topic. Let me set the
11. 31315 0:31 - 0:35
    scene. Throughout the years as a Red Wings fan I've had the great opportunity
12. 35376 0:35 - 0:41
    to watch my team win multiple Stanley Cup championships, and it's been awesome.
13. 40700 0:41 - 0:44
    And throughout those years we've also seen a few pesky teams that prevented my
14. 43820 0:44 - 0:48
    team from moving forward in the playoffs. One of those teams was the San Jose
15. 47845 0:48 - 0:52
    Sharks. Now, I really had no opinion of them other than that they were a team
16. 51510 0:52 - 0:56
    that sometimes got in the way. Fast-forward a few years and I find myself
17. 55595 0:56 - 1:01
    living in enemy territory with the San Jose Sharks and their fans. It turns
18. 60683 1:01 - 1:04
    out, unfortunately, that a lot of the fans don't like the Red Wings, or Red
19. 64282 1:04 - 1:10
    Wings fans. Now, how do I know that? I know because I've experienced first hand
20. 69732 1:10 - 1:14
    what it's like to be treated as an outsider. I'll never forget the time when I
21. 74199 1:14 - 1:17
    finished teaching my general psychology course, ran down to my office, and put
22. 77301 1:17 - 1:22
    on my Wings gear, and went down to catch the bus to watch the game. I got on
23. 82426 1:22 - 1:27
    the bus, and I realized that I was in a sea of teal, all Sharks fans. And
24. 87195 1:27 - 1:31
    immediately they all started booing me. Some people had some off color remarks
25. 91144 1:31 - 1:36
    about my team. And they were yelling me go back to Detroit. Well, I can tell
26. 96068 1:36 - 1:39
    you from that experience it was obvious that I was a part of the out group, and
27. 98966 1:39 - 1:44
    not a part of the in group. As you can imagine, the bus ride was a little
28. 103756 1:44 - 1:49
    uncomfortable. There were a few people who were kind of nice to me. I think
29. 108797 1:49 - 1:52
    they felt badly because I was getting picked on, but for the majority of the
30. 112083 1:52 - 1:57
    ride people were booing me. Here's the interesting part. When I got to the
31. 116822 1:57 - 2:01
    arena I saw a lot of Detroit Red Wings fans. They were wearing their jerseys,
32. 121005 2:01 - 2:05
    had their hats on, and we smiled at each other, we high five. We yelled, go
33. 125186 2:05 - 2:09
    wings, and here I had total strangers, but I felt a part of that in-group. And
34. 129299 2:09 - 2:13
    I did not feel a part of the San Jose Sharks, that would be the out-group.
