Social Media and Football

I will be doing a research on how social media outlets have had an impact on the game that has been cherished by billions for centuries. In this research, I will hope to show physical changes of how the fans and athletes themselves approach the game in the modern era versus the past, before all the new media platforms emerged. I also want to uncover if these changes are instrumental or detrimental to the sport. Interviews, simple exchanges between athletes and fans on these new media, and observations of the fans while watching the games will be vital for this research to be as accurate as  possible. Social media is everywhere, in almost everything; let's see if it is doing more good than harm, if any at all.
