Week 10 - The Streaming of Social Media Through Sports' Perspective


It has been said that social media is being streamed through another form of technology in an effort to gain more fans so that more ratings will go up in the process. Thus making it feel like another way function in today's society, as opposed to the simpler ones that have ruled the world for a long time.

People have been discussing this stuff ever since Twitter became a thing following Facebook's rise to fame. The internet has been on the rise, as discussed in this week's video, to portray sports from a new perspective in the world. The moral sports media point is talked about in order to analyze people watching their favorite sports as a way to explore a way to land any way to have their enjoyment at the rate they need to get a feel for what is unfolding in whatever reality they are in. It may be great for the role they play in.

Plus, this can be so critical to the future of sports media because of how this can mean a lot of being guarded and more protected so critics can be able to talk about how the Internet can only get bigger and useful when time comes. It will only improve over time and this commodification is a great way to reveal more social identity things and this would feel like a way to impact broadcasters. These examples explained in the article are beneficial when it comes to viewing games through various social media platforms including Twitter, Facebook and even Snapchat in the possible future and for years after this.

Personally, I can compare this to the reading about how social media is becoming such a use for escape and other things as well. Professionalism can also be seen as a way to depict professional skills to a new level of the real world and what lies ahead for them as well. Literature review surrounding this would be a great way to talk about how it would turn this world around and into a brand new form of sports viewing. The study is great at looking at that stuff thanks to how specific it looks.

People know that this would be a great theory to be applied at many scenarios when you need it the most. All they need to do is to understand that this would be the best way to go because this would be a great description of this coming to pass and would call for a great way to talk about watching games from an all-new point of view that is opposed to the traditional way of viewing things back in the day to when streaming was just through television and possibly the radio.

As a recommendation of this, I wouldn't feel so involved or sucked into this as much people are because this would have to be very cautious and risky because this may cause costs to go through the roof and data to run out in a blink of an eye. I personally think that this angle of this social media theory is important to talk about to get people talking about the whole purpose of protection of what you would like to see or not see through a social media platform. This can easily be compared to any of the readings from this week but Sada Reed's article comes out on top in relating terms.

In the end of what is being discussed about social media and streaming at its finest, many would know that this article can be viewed as a unique way to see games. And professionalism, although sounding different, can be used as a special way to talk about that stuff. There is more important information to talk about the outcome of social media for many years to come.

Week 9 - Wall Street, Sports Edition

Fresh off of another successful spring break, I am more than happy to give the readers the scoop about one of the most popular traditions of March and the spring season to come along with it. Though it doesn't come without controversy regarding the betting and let alone the fun of the sports involvement people tune in to watch and be compared to the uses and gratifications theory, but for the more questionable reasons, that would be through a fan's eyes, for better or worse.

This week's article involves the fact that sports betting has become very much like Wall Street in New York. The writers of that article have many things to talk about how sports have become very dramatic when it comes to betting on the teams that seem to do very well in the bracket busting part of the league and the sections that seemed to follow the number one thing revolving around things that turn sports into a serious business when it comes to the factors of winning and losing that could also lead to the outcome of the future of the team.

In my opinion, this can be compared to the readings that author Arthur Rainey wrote about "deposition and enjoyment" and how enjoying sports in general could be impacted by something that is a very heavy thing to talk about because of how much all of seriousness can take the fun away from sports. It could be a huge impact on the world as well. In his findings in this week's reading, he was referring to many different angles with the whole point of things can be dictated by the fate of the sports could play such a heavy role in the society as a whole to analyze how it can unite people. Or it can tear them apart because of the reasons if they take it too seriously.

Another angle on this would need to be how the stocks are set up in similar fashion to the real world and how fans can react to their teams losing or winning but not getting the spread that they have wanted in order to get the money they win from having their big gamble paying off and their "stock" goes up dramatically because of the end result of that game going in their favor, which is comparable to the business on Wall Street. I think this is a great way to compare this to all of what Rainey has said about watching sports for fun or for seriousness when it comes to how you can bet on.

More on this could also include how people need sports to escape and be a part of something that can lure them out of the real world and into something big. The term arousal can be used in order to talk about how people can bet as well as the charts when the categories were calculated, including of course, entertainment and enjoyment as opposed to concern or worry from other things brought in others' lives too. Alot of fans need that support otherwise they would be in desperation for an answer to their problems.

In conclusion, based off of the latest commodification angles, I do believe that sports has become a business for many people that have put so much on the line in order to get the results that they have wanted regardless of the fact if it's an escape or another way to get worried of what things can do. The so-called "watchdogs" can also be analyzed as a group of people that are focused on the sport through technology and many other millennial uses of today's world, and that will be a great thing to talk about when it comes to monitoring fans and their hopes.
