ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

     (a) - (b) Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization
     dated as of October 24, 2000 (the "Merger Agreement"), among Global Sports,
     Fido Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary
     of Global Sports ("Merger Sub"), and Fogdog, and subject to the conditions
     set forth therein (including, but not limited to, the expiration or early
     termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
     Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the adoption of the Merger
     Agreement by the stockholders of Fogdog), Merger Sub will be merged with
     and into Fogdog (the "Merger"), Fogdog will become a wholly-owned
     subsidiary of Global Sports and each outstanding share of Fogdog Common
     Stock will be converted into a fraction of a share of common stock of
     Global Sports in accordance with the Merger Agreement.  In addition, Global
     Sports will assume certain options and warrants to purchase Fogdog Common
     Stock on the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement.  Concurrently with

     Global Sports and the persons named on Schedule II to this Schedule 13D
     entered into Voting and Stock Transfer Restriction Agreements and the
     persons named on Schedule II to this Section 13D executed and delivered
     Irrevocable Proxies in favor of Global Sports.

     The description contained in this Item 4 of the transactions contemplated
     by the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
     full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is incorporated by
     reference in this Schedule 13D -- see Exhibit2.1.

     (c)  Not applicable.

     (d)  It is anticipated that upon consummation of the Merger, each current

     Sports.

     (e)  The Merger Agreement prohibits Fogdog from declaring, accruing,
     setting aside or paying any dividends or making any other distributions in
     respect of any shares of Fogdog Common Stock. Upon consummation of the
     Merger, Fogdog

                                       3
<PAGE>

     will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Global Sports, and will cease to

     subsidiary of Global Sports.

     right to develop such plans or proposals).

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

     (a) - (b) As a result of the Voting and Stock Transfer Restriction
     Agreements and the Irrevocable Proxies, at any time before the earlier of
     the date upon which the Merger Agreement is validly terminated or the date
     upon which the Merger is consummated, Global Sports has the power to vote
     an aggregate of 11,359,511 shares of Fogdog Common Stock for the limited
     purpose of voting (i) in favor of the Merger, the execution and delivery by
     Fogdog of the Merger Agreement and the adoption and approval of the Merger
     Agreement and the terms thereof, in favor of each of the other actions
     contemplated by the Merger Agreement and in favor of any action in
     furtherance of the foregoing, (ii) against any action or agreement that
     would result in a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or
     obligation of Fogdog in the Merger Agreement, and (iii) against the
     following actions (other than the Merger and the other transactions
     contemplated by the Merger Agreement):  (A) any extraordinary corporate
     transaction, such as a merger, consolidation or other business combination
     involving Fogdog or any of its subsidiaries; (B) any sale, lease or

     interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or adversely affect the Merger
     or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or
     the Voting and Stock Transfer Restriction Agreements.  In addition, as a
     result of the Voting and Stock Transfer Restriction Agreements and the
     Irrevocable Proxies, for a period of 180 days after termination of the
     Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, Global Sports will have the
     power to vote an aggregate of 11,359,511 shares of Fogdog Common Stock for
     the limited purpose of voting (i) against any offer, proposal, inquiry or
     indication of interest contemplating or otherwise relating to any
     transaction or transactions involving:  (A) any merger, consolidation,
     amalgamation, share exchange, business combination, issuance of securities,
     recapitalization, tender offer, exchange offer or other similar transaction
     (1) in which Fogdog or any of its subsidiaries is a constituent
     corporation, (2) in which a person or group of persons directly or
     indirectly acquires beneficial or record ownership of Fogdog securities
     representing more than 15% or more of the outstanding securities of any
     class of voting securities of Fogdog or any of its subsidiaries, or (3) in
     which Fogdog or any of its subsidiaries issues securities representing more
     than 15% or the outstanding securities of any class of voting securities of
     Fogdog or any of its subsidiaries; (B) any sale, lease exchange, transfer,
     license, acquisition or disposition of any business or businesses or assets
     that constitute or account for 15% or more of the consolidated net
     revenues, net income or assets of Fogdog or any of its subsidiaries; or (C)
     any liquidation or dissolution of Fogdog or any of its subsidiaries, and
     (ii) against any action which is intended, or could reasonably be expected,
     to facilitate the consummation of any of the foregoing transactions.  The
     stockholders of Fogdog who are parties to the Voting and Stock Transfer
     Restriction Agreements and Irrevocable Proxies retained the right to vote
     their shares of Fogdog Common Stock on all matters other than those
     identified in the Voting and Stock Transfer Restriction Agreements.  The
     shares covered by the Voting and Stock Transfer Restriction Agreements

     have signed Voting and Stock Transfer Restriction Agreements and
     Irrevocable Proxies hold an aggregate of 798,265 options that are
     exercisable within 60 days of October 24, 2000, and the Voting and Stock
     Transfer Restriction Agreements and Irrevocable Proxies apply to any
     additional shares of Fogdog Common Stock acquired by any of the foregoing
     persons, including pursuant to the exercise of any of the foregoing
     options.  The description contained in Item 4 and this Item 5 of the
