Welcome to take two of the Sideline Scoop. Today, we will be taking a look at an interesting Twitter confession and two articles from the website Sports Networker.
Oliver Giroud was best known for being the best goal-scoring threat on Arsenal FC. Then came Feb. 16, 2014, when, hours before a key match, he posted on his Twitter account that he had cheated on his wife. Not only was the timing of the announcement odd, but so was the medium by which he choose to relay his message that made it so unique. This article, posted on Bleacher Report, shows one of the dangers of Twitter: instant reaction from others.
The first of two articles from Sports Networker, Lewis Howes takes a look at guidelines for teams and athletes, as well as businesses in general, to follow. It is a solid list that everyone should read and consider before they take part in social media.
This article looks at extreme sports athletes (Tony Hawk, Shaun White and company) and how companies signed these athletes to contracts to promote their contract via social media, and where things will go from here.
