Are you a sports fan? Do you follow your favorite sports team on Twitter or on Facebook?

It is also fun to search YouTube if you want to see interviews with your favorite players or highlights from a key game.

College and professional football fans are chomping at the bit for the football season to take off. Or perhaps you are still rooting for your favorite baseball team to win the World Series.

Since my Colorado Rockies keep falling into a downward spiral, I am turning my attention to football, which is my very favorite sport anyway.

As a lifelong Green Bay Packer fan and University of Wisconsin Badger fan, I love that I can easily track these teams and their players through Facebook.

One of the beauties of liking the Facebook page of your favorite teams is that you get frequent updates about the team’s activities. It is also fun to click on the Share button if you see a Facebook friend post about any of your teams.

Even though I may not get to see my fellow sports fan in person that often (especially my friends who live out of state), we can cheer collectively in cyberspace for the teams (and the players) we love.

What social media do you use the most as a sports fan? Perhaps it is a mix of several different ones.

Have your social media habits changed over time? Maybe you now gravitate more to Twitter than to Facebook, for example.

Please share your thoughts with me. Always happy to hear from my readers.
