How Espn Has Changed Sport

In conclusion, I believe that ESPN influences its audience through various tactics that include agenda-setting. Without the use of agenda-setting it would have more informative tactics versus persuasive tactics. I also believe that the influence that ESPN has is what makes major sporting events more entertaining. When you look at featured shows such as First Take you are able to find a level of entertainment, persuasion and facts. As a viewer I find ESPN having a balance between how much information they share and how much opinion that use to persuade. There will continuously be a use of framing to get viewers to place importance on certain topics. Based on the research that I have done I think that ESPN has been successful as a network due

However, they can also severely damage their career, personal life, and their ‘brand’ if they do not handle their social media interactions with care (Van Schaik).

When asked to think about a Televised sport, is it just me or do you immediately think of a male televised sport? Why is it that when personally asked to think about a Sport we always think of males playing sport and not females playing sport? Not only is it stereotypical, but it is plain unfair.

Sports enthusiasts provide the target market for ESPN within the sports entertainment industry. The specific target market segment we will target for ESPN’s streaming service is busy individuals who want to keep up with sports but are unable to do so because of time constraints.

1986 World Cup quarter finals, was when one of the most controversial calls was made. The goal was called the “Hand of God” because Diego Maradona scored with a hand ball. It could have been called correctly if they allowed instant replay. Instant replay has benefitted sports because it allows referees to make difficult calls and see things on the field of play that have been obstructed from view. Today, the technology has become so advanced, that most calls that the referees get wrong can be clearly seen by instant replay. The game may take longer but, the outcome is fairer.

In the heated landscape of our current society, politics is a volatile subject for many. No matter what side of the boat you are on, one's opinion can alienate another with one comment or meme.

To start off this discussion I think it is important to clearly define the main points of this topic, in order to give the piece, and the readers, some context. Personally, I define sports as any physical activity, which involves some level of competition. For this discussion, I will be talking about how a materials improvement has made a great impact in the world of sports, specifically within the past century; therefore, the next important point to clarify is my definition of “impact”.
