Since the inception of social media, all aspects of our lives have changed drastically. How people communicate, conduct businesses, and relate to each other has been dramatically affected. Thanks to the social media, it is now easy to communicate to a large group of people using a single message sent across different platforms.
Sports events have always been on the limelight. It has become almost impossible to talk about games without mentioning social media. From pages and profiles used by the teams for interaction with fans to trending news on Facebook, social media has immensely helped build up the fame and face of teams and players. Even sports betting sites, another major part of the industry, are engaging customers on social media.
Today, fans are now following favorite teams, transfer news, or players across different social media platforms (especially Facebook and Instagram) to ensure they do not miss out on sports news and trends. Anyone with a social media account can live stream favorite events closely despite the location.
Although a good number of people still rely on and enjoy watching sports on TV, there is no denying that the majority feel that social media is more convenient compared to following local newspapers. The future of social media and sports has already proven its potential in the viral news and is more promising compared to sports magazines.
The modern sports fans have an incredible appetite that broadcast media cannot satisfy all by themselves, hence the need to integrate social media into their systems to avoid losing audience.
