Business, Economics, and Taxes: Eat Cereal for Dinner

So have sports teams been banned from posting on BlueSky? Seattle Kraken haven’t posted anything on BlueSky for almost two weeks yet their Twitter and Meta accounts are still actively posting.

I had read somewhere that at least the NFL had a deal with Twitter to make them the exclusive social media of… something? Short posts? But whatever it was, the Pats stopped posting as well and a lot of teams didn’t even have accounts. Although after seeing the Pats story it looked like the Lions had an account and were actively posting there up thru the game against Washington, which is after the NFL supposedly told the Pats to stop.

So who knows. Or maybe it was a fan pretending to be the Lions and just reposting all their Twitter images.
 
Sports is BlueSky’s biggest weak spot in my opinion. I think it’ll eventually get going though, especially if the other options keep going the way they do. Michael Russo is posting more and more, he’s the Wild beat writer for The Athletic. Even starting to see a little college puck discussion here and there, but you do have to search for it.

Someone runs a bot account that automatically takes posts from the Kraken Twitter and posts them to BlueSky.

Weirdly some teams are still active though, Florida Panthers for example.

On the flip side, plenty of European soccer teams have stopped posting on Twitter entirely.

Depends on the sport I think. MLS writers, and soccer as a whole, has almost entirely migrated to BlueSky (not fully with team accounts but nearly all the media outlets have) whereas baseball and football have almost no presence.

Kind of depends on the team and fanbase too. The Kraken have a big media outlet presence on BlueSky because the Kraken have a more left leaning fanbase that uses BlueSky. I doubt, for example, the St. Louis Cardinals have a big presence on BlueSky.

Nicole Haase made a comment on one of her recent podkaz that she would love to get off Twitter, but too many sports still use it, so she has no choice for now.

I have noticed a number of unofficial "bot" accounts which repost stuff on Bluesky within the auto racing world.
