Ask HN: How do you consume sports? I’m doing some due diligence on startup ideas. How do you consume sports? Are you constantly on the ESPN app? Is it just Instagram and TikTok? Snapchat? X? Are you on message boards, checking Reddit, dm’ing fantasy players? Let me know how you do it today! |
I think that’s also with the news in general right now.
1. ESPN app - mostly for the headlines across sports
2. Tigernet - clemson specific / mostly football. Like the message boards.
3. Instagram - great place to get lots of good news
4. Maybe a google search - “when is x game?”
5. YouTube for game recap / highlights / long form.
6. Occasionally 247.
7. FotMob for soccer
I occasionally go on r/soccer purely for goal highlights
I used to use sofascore to keep track of games, but I don't anymore since I rarely sit down to watch matches. When I do want to find out when a particular match is, I will search on google
I do play premier league fantasy with a few buddies. We have our own league
Also, I don't think hn is the place to do research about people and their sports-watching habits, since most people here won't watch any sports regularly. A better place would be to go to some communities related to a certain sport and interact with the people there to find out how they do things; but also, if you're not into sports yourself and know a particular sport in and out and the culture associated with it, it's probably not the best idea to do a startup about this
I did some research at a football game recently. If you’re bored / interested you can find it on YouTube under “charleswilliamss” or instagram under “gethalftime”
I watch RedZone, and created a multireddit for nfl, teams, fantasy, etc. for the rest + YouTube for highlights
I love music but I mainly Spotify - concerts are a once a quarter thing, right?
YouTube for recap highlight.
Some random sites for soccer.
I mostly discuss with my partner.
