I decided to make this list because it truly combines the two things I’m most passionate about: sports and social media. Plus, I got to spend a bunch of time searching through the tweets of ten of the best sports-related Twitter users. It was tough, and honestly, I could have made a list just of Shaq or Bill Simmons tweets, which is why they dominate here. Believe me, I know I missed a ton of great tweets from a ton of great accounts, so please don’t get mad! But do feel free to add ones I might have missed in the comment section below. I hope you enjoy the list!
