How to work with switch golang?

Question

go

Why does this construction not work in GO:

switch type {
    case "":
    case "football":
                log.Print(1)
    break
                case "basketball":
                log.Print(2)
                break
  }

But this one works:

switch type {
    case "":
                log.Print(1)
    break
    case "football":
                log.Print(1)
    break
                case "basketball":
                log.Print(2)
                break
  }

That is, for some reason, code duplication is necessary.

Answer 1

Because there is no fallthrough in the goshny switch. This is how it will be without duplication:

switch type {
    case "", "football":
        log.Print(1)
     case "basketball":
        log.Print(2)
  }
