Sports marketing has made its way directly to the fans. In the past, only the extremely devoted fans would check on their teams online but now, the norm has changed. Now the devoted fans learn new information before anyone else, and even get rewarded for it. In the article “The Passion of the Fan”, by Stewart Feil, fans are being rewarded for posting about their favorite teams on social media. The reason this is possible is because mobile apps have greatly contributed to the way fans follow their teams. In “Sports marketing and technology with the New England Patriots”, by Michael Krigsman, it reveals that fans have the capabilities of sending their favorite teams their input about the team. The most amazing part is their voice is being heard. Tracy Keller reveals how deeply mobile apps have helped fans and teams interact in her article, “The Rise of Mobile in Sports Marketing.” She goes into detail on how fans are closer to their favorite teams through new mobile technology involved in sports. To go along with mobile apps, websites are bringing new life into sports and professional teams. In Greg Johnson’s article, “Big-time backers are trying to breathe new life into high-flying sport of Slamball”, it discusses how Youtube has allowed Slamball to keep its fame, and it is also reviving the sport at the same time. Sports and fans have always been together. Sports marketers have made the interactions between fans and teams closer through social media, websites, and mobile technology.
Professional sports are a vital component to our society as we know it. Week in and week out, fans fill the stands to cheer on their favorite teams, just the same as they did 50 years ago. On the contrary, these professional sports have evolved with the introduction of new technologies that are erupting controversies, especially in the last decade. Experts suggest that these advantages that today’s players have over those in the past can ruin the integrity of the achievements and records they set during their era. Players are getting a distinct advantage, raising the question at hand. Are technological advancements in today’s sports harming the game as a whole? Golf is undeniably a sport that has been thoroughly impacted by technology, and we will examine how the game has been affected.
The topic that I have chosen is how externalities of a professional sports team affects the city, town, or state that it is in and how also it can increase or decrease the economic value of the current place that it resides in. There are plenty of professional sports teams in America, and some cities even have multiple teams inside of them, such as Boston, New York, Atlanta, etc. With numerous sports inside of the United States, the demand for a sports team is required; with this type of demand it could be beneficial or harmful for whichever city that it exist in.

However, by playing competitive sports, you can keep obesity rates down, you can have a very strong mental health, and lastly, you can insure a healthy lifestyle for your future self.
Sports in the US are an important part of the culture. The sporting culture is different from the other places in the world. For example, most of the athletes train on their own instead of practice together as a team. Also, unlike other countries, competition between national teams is far less important. As children begin to learn how to walk and talk at the young age, they also start to learn how to run, throw, catch and kick. They continue to develop their skills at more competitive levels starting from elementary school and all the way to college and some even become international level players. In addition, team sports are much more important than individual sports in the United States. At the professional level, especially for those big sports days like the Super Bowl or the Grand Finals for the NBA, family members usually gather together and sit around the television to support their favorite teams. It has became an American traditions and culture. The reason sports games are really hot is because Americans believe that all the sports play an important role in the society, which help to bind people together from different backgrounds and it is the vehicle for communicating values such as fair play, teamwork, and to show the spirit of sportsmanship.
Sports is by far one of the fastest growing past times in the United States (Rainer
Technology is changing everything around us including our sports. With modern technology now, we can implement it into our professional sports to make the games fair. Instant replay is the most important luxury in our sports today. It allows officials and the fans to look back at the recent play and decide if the correct call was made. Not all sports have implemented it into its rules yet. The commissioners of America’s favorite sports are discussing the rules of instant replay and are including the use of it into the sports. Instant replays are the most accurate source for officials to use, and should be used in all professional sporting events. A con to having instant replays in any sporting event is that it takes away human error which can be seen as defacing sports. Although using instant replays in professional sports makes the game longer, it is great for the officials to use instant replays because there will not be wrong calls made in baseball, football, and hockey.

The ball comes speeding over the net and slams down onto the face of the court landing just beyond the base line, the line running along the back of the court. I had called her winning point... "out." As I turned towards her, I could see the anger building in her eyes. We walked towards each other, and with only the net separating us, she began to confront me. She argued that, as she saw it, the ball was obviously in and that we should replay the point. I wanted this game as much as she did and we were both standing strong. I finally decided that there was no use in fighting. We had to resolve this argument between ourselves because there were no line judges to decide for us. We decided to replay the point and she won. I tried to convince myself that there would be times when a call would be questionable and that I should try not to point fingers. I still went home discouraged that night because I knew that the call I had made was fair.

Everyone always asks what is e-sports, to be simple it's an electronic game that's played on a competitive level with prize pools. Most recently the government has recognized one of the most popular games known as League of Legends as an actual "sport". By allowing this to be noted as a sport players are allowed to get visas to come and play in North America or Europe or even Korea if they so chose, some regions are harder to get visas but they are obtainable (US Government).
