The overall theme I chose for this blog is looking at how
social media affects athletics. I think two of the most popular things in
today’s society are social media and sports so I wanted to take this
opportunity to see how they relate. Being a member of the UNI volleyball team
helps me relate to this topic, as well as being an active user of social media
accounts like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, just like many other young
adults around the world today. Social media is rapidly growing and influencing
more and more people each day. I hope to provide personal examples on how
social media has affected sports here at UNI, as well as other colleges and
even pro athletes.
To finish off this first post, I have provided some of some of what have been considered the
top tweets from athletes over the past few years. Enjoy! :)
