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?
There are times when I love it, but there are also times when It's wrong. For instance football players replying to fans about fantasy. Chris Johnson is an example of this last week. It should be for fun and interaction not starting arguements with unhappy fans.
ReplyDeleteI think social networking is a great thing. It is a great way for fans to interact with players and vice versa. However you have to be smart with your posts/tweets if you tweet or post the wrong thing you could lose your job or scholarship in an instant. If you use it right then it is a great tool to have.
ReplyDeleteSocial networking is a horrible thing for society, but it does have its positive features; which when used appropriately can be rewarding.
ReplyDeleteSocial networking has many positives, but it also has many negatives. It is hard to say whether I believe social networking is a good thing or bad thing because it fluctuates so much. If i had to choose though, I would say that social networking has more positive features than negatives.
