Accounts to follow on Twitter if you care about SPORTS...
Twitter can be a bit overwhelming. With literally an infinite amount of accounts to follow the average sports fan can easily get lost when trying to find the best pages to follow. Luckily I have made a list to guide these lost souls towards the top 5 best sports related accounts Twitter has to offer.
1. @barstoolsports
Barstool Sports is a company created for “the average guy.” They are most well known for their popular radio podcast, Pardon My Take, from which their social media presence has exploded. They pride themselves on covering all professional sports while simultaneously covering user submitted sports related videos. They provide the perfect balance between actual sports coverage and humorous material. Another great quality of this account is that they often cover current events as well. If you are looking for an account that is light hearted, all about their followers and on the rise this account is perfect for you.
2. @bleacherreport
BleacherReport is somewhat similar to Barstool in the fact that they also allow users to submit videos that they will upload. However, they take covering their sports a little more serious. This account is also very well known for being the quickest when posting breaking news. Recently they have also received a lot of publicity from big time sports networks like ESPN and Fox Sports, which has caused them to increase their social media presence. BleacherReport is the most up and coming account on this list and a most follow for the average sports fan.
3. @sportscenter
The most classic and professionallyrun account on this list. Sportscenter is in direct relation to ESPN and the golden standard for sports coverage. Any type of sports related news will be displayed on this account and it will be displayed in a very straightforward manner. This account covers literally every single type of sport imaginable and tweets multiple times a day. Many people consider Sportscenter to be the most necessary account to follow on Twitter. One of this accounts best features is the unique interviews they post from professionals in all areas of sports.
4. @OnionSports
This account is for the satirical sports fan that enjoys some classic sports humor. The Onion is famous for writing off the wall stories that are completely false, but also completely hilarious. This account offers the comic relief every sports fan needs in their stressful life. From fake news to hilarious comics this account has it all. One of the best parts of this account is seeing how people react to their stories that don’t understand their satirical nature. The Onion has been around forever and cooling off any time soon.
5. @BeyondTheBets
This account is for the serious sports fan, the ones who dabbling in gambling. Sports betting has been on the rise the last 10 years and this account takes full advantage of the current trend. They tweet multiple tweets a day with professional picks and advice on multiple types of sports games. They are one of the rare sports betting accounts that offer their advice for free. In a world full of betting accounts that make you pay money, BeyondTheBets provides good advice for the best price available (free).
