This document summarizes a study exploring the legal and practical impacts of restricting social media usage related to sporting events. It provides an overview of relevant case law and sample policies from various sports organizations. The conclusions are that facts from sporting events are not protected, organizations are unaware of guiding case law, fan policies are not enforced beyond central body policies, and protecting media rights holders' interests will be a focus in future discussions. Organizations appreciate the exposure generated from social media discussions of events.
