Jackie Adkins (jackieadkins) Sports Fans Could Soon Tune in to NBA & NHL Games Live on YouTube. Update: We've just heard from the NHL, who tell us: "The NHL is not in discussions with YouTube to stream live games. The NHL has not had conversations with the Google spokespeople mentioned in the Bloomberg report. " YouTube may be a hot bed for lip dub videos and life-casting teens, but soon sports fans could find a good reason to flock to the site: YouTube is reportedly in talks with the National Basketball Association and the National Hockey League to broadcast games live. Last year, YouTube announced that it would begin live-streaming Indian Premier League cricket matches, a venture that was apparently very successful. According to Business Week, the games brought in 55 million visits from more than 250 countries.

Gautam Anand, Google’s director of content partnerships for Asia Pacific, recently said that YouTube plans to show more live sports, but declined to elaborate on the particulars of talks with the NBA and NHL.

Posted on Jan 20, 2010 by Administrator Earlier this week, it hit the news that Manchester United has essentially erased the social footprint of each of it’s players. Which raises the question, can the most valuable team in the universe get away with shunning social media?

Let’s take a step back and think about this. The Red Devils are one of the most decorated teams in recent history, with some of the biggest names in soccer on their roster. Since 1964, Manchester United has lead the league in attendance every single season except for 6 years, each of which they were second. So does this mean they don’t need social media? I’m thinking that a couple of their hesitations with social media is that they don’t want the players to be building their individual brands without building the brand of the team as well (this would just make the player more expensive to keep around once their contract is up).

Touchline duel Pep Guardiola v Arsene Wenger: The mutual admiration between two of football’s purists is self-evident and, while Guardiola has quickly joined Wenger among the elite of group of European coaches, his lack of experience was subtly noted yesterday. “He has started his career with the desert,” said Wenger. Key clash Lionel Messi v Alex Song: Wenger is not keen to adopt man-marking tactics even for the exceptional case of Lionel Messi, meaning Arsenal must collectively neutralise his threat.

Even so, Alex Song will have particular responsibility for breaking up Barcelona’s passing and restricting service to the current European and World Player of the Year. What they are saying: Wenger on Fabregas: "The medical staff tell me there is still a chance he will be available but that will be decided in the warm up – if he is not capable of playing I wouldn't even put him on the bench. " ''Personally I like the way Arsenal play because they are a very strong team. Superbörsen | Statistik | Sportbladet.
