The folks over at GMR created this nifty sports and social media infographic which is quite interesting.  Now, more than ever, sports fans are using social media to stay connected with news outlets, sports personalities and each other.  To get a better understanding of this phenomenon, our GMR research team took to the virtual stands with a clipboard.  Our survey results may surprise you. Results are based on 350 completed surveys among Top 2 Box sports fans (very or somewhat interested in sports). Respondents were recruited via Facebook, Twitter, blog posts, and email invitations.
