Every Sport has Problems – soccergrlprobs

Soccergrlprobs is a a blog covering all facets of the issues that every girl who plays soccer will at some point deal with. Although it talks about problems, it is in a very humorous tone throughout the blog. What started out as a basic twitter handle turned into a huge movement among female soccer players around the globe. They’ve been a large influence in female soccer in the past, while also promoting a positive image of women’s soccer, as well as the rest of women’s sports as stated in their mission statement, “It is our mission to support and encourage the well-being and positive self-image of young female athletes everywhere.”

In terms of reader engagement, soccergrlprobs is very active. Since the movement started out on Twitter, they have a strong following on social media, in terms of Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. The blog has a separate section for their live Twitter feed, which is updated semi-hourly. They interact with basically any user who mentions them, or uses their main hashtag, #SGP (soccergrlprobs). They also allow their followers to purchase merchandise from their online store.
