This week’s best in #SMsports

Each week in INFLCR’s #SMSports newsletter, we call out some of the highlights of social media in sports. Want to nominate something to be showcased? Email tim@inflcr.com ….

Here are five items that caught our attention this past week:

Carolina Panthers: We normally focus on college sports here, but this was too good to pass up. Among a litany of great content pieces produced to accompany the announcement that the Panthers would play the Tampa Bay Bucs in London in 2019 was this gem: Panthers highlights set to announcer calls from British soccer games. Social media gold.

What happens when you combine British soccer commentators with Panthers football?

Missouri Tigers: As highlight packages go, this one from Missouri’s men’s basketball victory at Texas  A&M was strong. Loved the use of slow-mo.
