How the sporting world reacted to Facebook Reactions


Adrien Danjou - 25th February 2016 - 0 comments

Yesterday, Facebook officially launched ‘Reactions’ for all users. Announced some months ago, this new feature allows users to “Love,” “Haha,” “Wow,” “Sad,” and “Angry” friends’ Facebook posts, in addition to the famous “Like”. This introduction should definitely change the way we interact with posts on the platform, giving more options to share what we think.

Soon after, the sporting world didn’t lose anytime in creating content around this novelty and some of them look really cool.

Below is a collection of clubs and sports media who used each reaction to match an image or a moment.

Hey Facebook, you could have just called us for the reactions!

To conclude, some of the greatest content from Facebook Reactions comes from Paris Saint-Germain. Ahead of the Champions League round 16 (second leg) against Chelsea, the French club created a story with each new reaction to explain what happened last year at Stamford Bridge.
