Social Networking

I am going to discuss something I'm quite familiar with, social networking. With the changing pace of the world  a new thing used in sports is technology. One of the biggest changes is the use of social networks. Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook are all some of the biggest social networks used by sports teams, athletes, and even ESPN. Teams often inform followers about major changes through tweets and statuses. Teams may tweet about trades, scores of games, and even player's injuries. Athletes are some of the biggest social network users. From tweeting about their private lives to posting pictures of their families many athletes let their fans learn more about themselves through their social networks. Although athletes often tweet about good things sometimes they say thing that are inappropriate. Many athletes often get themselves in trouble with the thing they say, or post. So my question for you is what are your thoughts on athletes and social networking, is it a good thing or a bad thing?

Hello Everyone!

Hello everyone and welcome to my new Blog. My name is Kelsey Francis and I am a Sophomore Sport Management student at Slippery Rock University.  I hail from a small town in Ohio named Fowler where I went to an even smaller school named Mathews. I have a small family but a really large extended family. 
From the beginning sports have been a large part of my life. Now, spots are an even bigger part of my life and I hope to one day become a general manager of a team.
Now that you know a little about myself let me tell you about my blog. This blog is going to be a little about my life and a lot about sports. Throughout this blog everyone should be able to find something they find interesting. Well I hope you all enjoy!
