Social media has greatly increased transparency in professional sports, changing how fans follow sports, players share their lives, and journalists break news. It has led to more jobs in sports media and reporting, higher visibility for women's sports and international sports, and both benefits and challenges from heightened scrutiny of players' personal lives and drama. Social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and blogs now play a central role in how sports are experienced by fans worldwide.
