There are many things that people care about and take serious. The most serious thing would have to be people’s sports teams. How many videos out there in the world do you see when fans go crazy if there team loses? How bad of a mood they will be in until there team wins again. Or even the other way around, if your team wins your on cloud nine and it makes your hole week.  That’s why I feel like social media is so important because for one it doesn’t matter where you are at in the world you can always watch and hear about your favorite team or players just by your phone. Social media has changed the world. Expessually the sports world. One of the biggest things today that fans are involved in is called fantasy football. Fantasy football is the closest you get to being a coach. Not only do you get to be a coach but you get to draft and pick the players that are on your team.  So basically you take your favorite players or the players you think will do the best in the up coming season and make a team. Each week you look up and keep track of how well those players did and then you are able to see other teams in relationship with your team.  Hundreds of thousands of fans will participate each year. There are actually different leagues that you can join and earn money if your team ends up having the better record or most points at the end of the season. Its amazing to see how people can come up with things like this in order to keep people involved. Its also a good marketing strategy because it gets people more involved in players and in the team.

So now that we have classified why the social media is so important for the fans lets talk about why its so important for the players. Some people think that because of social media as in twitter, Facebook and insta that it get the players in trouble. Then others say that they like it because they get to follow some of their favorite athletes. There are some athletes that will literally let you in there day to day life. Let’s take LeBron James for instance. He will po as if they are even that much closer to him.st things on his fan page or to the people that are following him about his day or things that have happened with his family. Which makes a connection to the fan and the athlete.  Some athletes actually take it to the next level and respond to comments or questions that the fan might have. I find that to be really cool because not a lot of people do that. On the down side social media will also get you in trouble. Because there are so many people out there following you have to be careful what you say. Because if you say the wrong things you will be scolded for it.
