摘　　要：Ultimate frisbee has gained great attention and enjoyed explosive growth in China from 2019 to 2022(especially in 2022),but has also aroused heated controversies in cyberspace,typically in the football community.This paper explores the forms and underlying reasons for conflicts between the two sports.Through field observa-tion,in-depth interviews,and a survey of amateur participants in both frisbee and foot-ball,the paper finds that conflicts between the two sports,which arise from ultimate frisbee’s quest for legitimacy,are exaggerated as a result of the mediatization of sports.The study further revealed that Frisbee,as an alternative sport,exhibits notable cultural distinctions from football,a traditional sport.This divergence in sports culture mir-rors the generational gap.Consequently,the conflict between the two sports is more of an intergenerational conflict within the realm of sports culture,reflecting the overall transformation of Chinese society.
