Sport and social media are now irrevocably intertwined with fans actively engaged with their favourite athletes and sport teams on a regular basis. The World Cup is currently being touted as the biggest social media event ever with millions of fans tweeting, posting and commenting on each live game. It changes so quickly that it can be difficult for sport organizations, coaches and athletes to keep up.
