Summary/Abstract: Emotions in the language of sport have been studied primarily from the perspectiveof the language of commentators, especially television. This article presents a differentapproach to emotions in the language of sport. On the one hand, the analysis of thelanguage of on-line relations and, on the other hand, the language of supporters wereanalysed. The latter is considered ugly, vulgar and full of offensive terms. On the basisof the inscriptions on the walls and songs of sports fans, an attempt was made to provethat this is not always the case. This article is an attempt to show a new direction inthe study of emotions in the language of sport, i.e. taking into account the perspectiveof a general recipient (not just the media recipient).
