  Not sure. My significant other used to follow football games on there while I was watching them live because she felt it help her understand what was going on. From what I saw it was good at having quick updates, but terrible at relaying accurate information. Mostly just dumb opinions that were proven wrong seconds later. It helped her learn people’s names though, not so much anything more about positions, formations, plays, or any kind of strategy. All of the drama with none of the reason it seemed to me, but I was bias I’m sure.

  Hypothetical example, it would show someone pissed about a bad call, but never explain that the call was supposed to be lowering thr crown of your helmet and using the helmet as a battering ram in a way that would increase safety risks for players. So unless I explained the bad call after, all they see is the play quickly, arguing and drama, but never know the reason. (Which the announcers would try to explain in many scenarios, but that audio would not show on Twitter)

    I can relate to that, I normally go to those websites that have the live stats and stuff but I wouldn’t create an account just for that.
