The motivation for this research follows from our observation of the increasing influence of digitalization on sporting activities and the emergence of physicaldigital hybrid sport. While traditional, physical sport gradually embraces digital elements and experiences to the game, born-digital eSport increasingly involves physical elements in its setting (e.g., offline tournaments). In this paper, we investigate various physical-digital hybrid configurations of existing and emerging sporting activities and their implications for the fusing of the digital and physical worlds. Based on an inductive approach and drawing from existing literature on physical-digital hybridity, we conceptualize four sport clusters (digitally supported sport, digitally augmented sport, digitally replicated sport, and digitally translated sport) along three dimensions: the sporting activities (especially in terms of the relationship between the digital and physical components), the sporting arena, and actors' influence. Based on our conceptualization and observations, we discuss implications for both the information systems and sport management domains.

“…However, Twitter has a high appeal among sport fans (Burns, 2014), as through a live feed of comments, Twitter serves as a simultaneous shared experience with people all over the world (Harrington, Highfield, & Bruns, 2012). It has also been explored in depth by sport scholars interested in the nexus between the passion of sport and the instantaneity of the microblogging site (Li et al, 2019;O'Hallarn et al, 2019;Yan, Pegoraro, & Watanabe, 2018).…”

As sport management pedagogy has evolved, an effort has been made to incorporate popular and innovative social media technologies into classroom instruction. Academic research has suggested how the technology can be utilized to provide real-world skills for students and develop proficiencies in an area where many sport management graduates find employment. Notable among the recommendations about social media use by sport management scholars is a lack of research testing the efficacy of these tools in improving curricula. The current study relied on the recommendations of Sanderson and Browning (2015) to use the social media site Twitter to create online partnerships, testing the perceived benefits of such an arrangement through end-of-semester surveys with student participants. While the survey data show a true partnership may be difficult to realize—particularly during a single semester—the benefits of such an assignment were clearly articulated.
