Cuban on Sports Social Media

Social media and sports. They seem to have the same on-again, off-again relationship like Chris Brown and Rihanna.

The NFL tries to ban player tweets before, during and after a game for specified period of time; the NCAA has absolutely no clue and tries to ban all fan-based social media activity during football games. Who’s doing something good and having fun with it?

Mark and Brian Cuban. That’s who. Mark tweets a simple message like this:

Then helping the cause even more, Brian Cuban sends the same message over to Facebook:

They could take it even further by asking fans to add their pictures and video. Extending the interaction and activities to other networks such as FourSquare would be a nice experiment to include more people and maybe create some new fans.

These guys do an exceptional job at contributing quality content through their online networks; they engage people and create off-line interaction which creates a better relationship with them and their organization.

So they gave away a few tickets, what did they get in return? Fans showed up, probably spent money and undoubtedly told their friends about the free ticket the Cuban Brothers gave them.

Grab your own tickets and follow Mark and Brian.
