Introduction to the World

My blog for this semester is directly related to the social media course that I am currently taking at California State University, Chico. I chose to write to the world about the connection between sports (particularly professional) and the positive correlation it holds with major social media hubs. Professional sports is one of the most people driven industries in the entire world. Sports are played by people, enjoyed by people and most of all, directly communicated by people through major mediums like television, the internet, print and now so interestingly new; social media hubs. I have always been interested in all sports and talking about them with friends, family and even people I do not even know has and always will be a passion of mine. However, I would like to take a different approach on my blog. Instead of strictly talking about sports and what went on during the game, I would like to talk about the connection that each individual game has on the world, through the elements correlated with social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. People explore one another's thoughts, emotions and reactions towards similar sporting events through social media and that connection is extremely revolutionary towards our world today.  So much more personal content is being driven through and shared within multi-million dollar industries like ESPN and News stations, giving people more insight and "up-front" reactions to better engage their experiences with the sports they are watching, with the people they are watching them with even if they are on the other side of the world. This is what drives me and fascinates me to share my thoughts and opinions with the world everyday and it all has to do with this new fad of social media.
