Introduction

Hi my name is Joe Nelson and I am a senior at Bowling Green State University. I have blogged on other time for a previous Marketing class I took that dealt with Social Media. I was not interested in the topics were we instructed to blob about and because of that I felt as if my blog was the not the best work I could produce. With that being said, I am much happier that this time around I am able to blog about issues/ topics in the world of athletics.

Now let me introduce myself  little bit more. My favorite sports are soccer, football, and basketball. I played soccer my whole life and while in elementary school through high school I also ran track. I am a big Barcelona soccer fan and would love to someday watch a game at The Nou Camp- their home stadium that holds 90,000+ fans. Te atmosphere is fantastic and I want to witness it for myself at least once in my lifetime. While I am a huge soccer fan I do admit that football- college football especially- is what I focus on the most. I was raised in a divided household between diehard Ohio State and Notre Dame fans. I have never been able to pick a side and my apartment proves it because there is both OSU and ND stuff in my place. Obviously I am a Bowing Green fan as well. I have gotten even closer to our sports because I have worked within the Athletic Department for or the past year now. I also have realized over the past few days that MMA is a global sport as well. Mixed Martial Arts is also one of my favorite sports. I would love to attend a UFC fight to watch the worlds best fighters engage in elite matches. The sport of mixed martial arts is growing so fast, I can only think of it in popularity and compare it to the boxing era with Ali; but on a much greater scale.

As I have just stated I would love to attend a UFC fight anywhere in the world. However, the biggest global sporting event I would like to attend would be none other than the World Cup. I have been involved in soccer my whole life, and the World Cup is such a great global spectacle, because I am a big fan of rowdy atmospheres and pride in the country in which you reside. I am not the biggest Olympics fan because many of the sports do not always interest me. I will still watch some of the events and always root for the US but I cannot follow it like some people.


This is my intro and I cannot wait to keep this going and see what others have to say about my posts.
