[edit] What about sports bandwagons?
It is the social effect caused by the success of a certain sports team. When a team is experiencing a period of success (most commonly defined as winning), there is a spike in merchandise sales, television ratings, etc. Overall, there is an increase in attention paid to winning teams. The attention, in turn, is translated into an increase of the fan-base of that sports team. Examples: -Merchandise sales in the NFL are always dependant on winning success - especially top 5 teams. -The New York Yankees are probably one of the largest fan bases of any sports team that has ever existed, due to their success. They have won more than 20 World Series and appeared in more than 30.

[edit] bad citation?
Does this citation "Reid, Mark J.: The distance to the center of the galaxy, Annual review of astronomy and astrophysics Vol. 31, pp. 345 - 372 (1993), available on line at [1] " have anything to do at all with the topic? It apears to be more about the galaxy and does not mention 'bandwagon' once. Rudraksha 03:44, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
