There are many different screens in terms of the way people watch global sports. But the first screen is actually live sports, right? The second screen is television, and this is my view of this. And the third screen is really your mobile device.
Imagine this. You’re at home watching something on television that you like. And it’s being displayed with multiple angles or multiple feeds through live streaming. I use the Masters, a golf tournament, as a great example. You might watch the live television feed on CBS.
But masters.com might have several different feeds on their app that could be done from a mobile standpoint. So, the second screen would be TV. The third screen would be your mobile app or your iPad, if you like, or your tablet.
Sometimes I will watch TV and have a computer and a mobile device, all at the same time watching things. I mean it’s somewhat like when you go into a sports bar and you’re watching a lot of different games all at one time.
Our Sports Management Education courses dissect how we watch sports and how sports management organizations feed us sports information.
