Sports and Social Media

Social media has become a huge platform when looking for news and updates on sporting events.  Twitter is a great place to find updates to games, as well as breaking news in the sports world.  Recently, NBA basketball has begun.  There are too many teams to try to follow if you are a true basketball fan. What teams are playing well?  What players are breaking records?  You can typically find these answers on your Twitter timeline.

One Twitter account that does a great job is SportsCenter.  I follow SportsCenter in order to get quick facts about what is going on in the numerous games.  I get a quick synopsis of who won the major games, what players are injured and other news relating to the variety of sports.  I have always grown up watching sports, especially the Cleveland Cavaliers.  With this account, I am able to stay current on everything in sports while having a busy college schedule.

Personally, I think the Twitter account is very clean and organized.  The information posted is to the point and gives the basic information you need.  In addition, there is typically a picture with a comment to help you put a name with a face if talking about a specific player or team.  What I really like is you get the news you desire without having to dig for the information.  If something greatly interests me, then I have the option to look up more information through the Internet.  Overall, there is a great deal of information regarding sports.  By following social media accounts, one can follow the news revolving around the various sports and teams.
