#SportsTech - Philly Wings Leverage Twitter

It’s no secret that sports teams across the globe are leveraging social media more and more these days.  So much in fact, that the first American professional sports team, the Philadelphia Wings of the National Lacrosse League, have traded last names on jerseys for Twitter handles in a one-of-a-kind game vs. the Buffalo Bandits, Sunday, February 12th.
