Trends on Twitter related to my topic.

On Monday November 11th in class we were to look up 5 Tweets or Twitter trends related to our topic. So that we could further analyse our topic and see what is happening in our chosen community.

• Lebron Tweeted supporting the pay of College Athletes:

“See what I’m saying now! They don’t care about them kids at all. Only about how they can make them” (James).

• Jon Gordon an associate of the Heat, and Pacers said some motivation from his book this morning:

“Don’t let negativity win today. Remember it starts with you. If you are complaining you’re not leading. If you are leading you’re not complaining. One person can’t make a team but one person can break a team. Stay positive! No energy vampires allowed”(Gordon).

• All 30 NBA teams tweeted supporting Veterans Day. How does Patriotism through sports bring people together?

“Today we are proud to recognize and honor all the men and women who have served our country. Your Miami HEAT family thanks you” (Miami Heat).

“Happy VeteransDay! We thank all who have served and continue to serve our country.” (Washington Wizards).

• Rebekkah Brunson shouted out Gorgui Dieng on his offseason commitment

“Congrats Gorgui Dieng for the NBA cares off season community assist award for your dedication to bringing sustainable medical care to your home country of Senegal. We all know how special you are now the world can see it too.

After researching through twitter today I realized that many of basketballs big names, franchises and brands stand for so much more than just the sport of basketball. The NBA franchises supporting veterans day, Lebron James supporting the payment of NCAA and Gorgui Dieng supporting medical centers in his home country of Senegal are excelent examples of this.
