Social media platforms are often treated as places to grow your circle and connect with as many people as possible. And while it’s nice to have everyone associated with you under one digital roof, the truth is that social media can feel loud to the point of anonymity.

Many of us desire partners, whether the relationship involves enjoying the here and now or sticking by each other’s sides "‘til death do us part." Unfortunately, it isn't easy to find people we resonate with on an intimate level.

While your team may not be able to walk away with a win every time, sports matches are still exciting and rewarding to their faithful supporters—especially when they are able to engage with more fans while following their favorite teams.
