the NFL embraces social media

When professional athletes followed suit & joined sites like Twitter and Facebook, commissioners and club owners both cringed and marveled at the personalities that were connecting directly with fans.  The barrier between fans and players was tackled down with tweets and posts that provide fans with insider information and a glance at the personal lives of professional athletes.

This 2011-2012 season has great opportunity to utilize social media formats, such as location based services. Fan involvement has spurred many segments on multiple ESPN programs, such as polling and posting question to gauge audience reactions. Sportsnation is a show that has really changed the format of the role of the viewer.  suggest topics to discuss- or test their fantasy knowledge with trivia questions. Fans with smart phones and internet based technology can keep informed easily by following updates from each individual sport club.
The Denver Broncos have a steady presence on Facebook, Twitter as well as their multimedia website. Location based services like Foursquare, where 'checking in' upon arrival to sponsored events and games.  I will keep up with how social media is used best and worst this season. Go BRONCOS.
