Jake Wojtowicz

I write about being a sports fan - what it means, why it matters, and how we fans should act.

 

Recently, I have written about "sportswashing" with Kyle Fruh and Alfred Archer. We are currently working on a book, The Ethics of Sportswashing, to be published by Routledge. For more information, see my "Books" page, which also has more information on Why It's OK to Be a Sports Fan.​ ​

​

I have appeared on the local NPR talk show "Connections with Evan Dawson" several times, written for The New Statesman, AEON, Prospect, and The Prindle Post. I've also spoken to journalists at El Pais, The Huffington Post, and DW about the ethics of sports, and have been on Serbia's RTS morning program. I'm very happy to speak to journalists about sports ethics: just email me.

​

As far as I know, there's only one famous Wojtowicz, but I am not related to the bank robber who inspired Dog Day Afternoon. Here is how to pronounce my name. As somebody who doesn't speak Polish, I'm very liberal with the pronunciation, but you should probably not pronounce it like this.
