TSN a popular sports channel within Canada has a website named Bardown. This website brings the sporting world together whether it be unbelievable goals or a game winning field goal, however, it not only focus on the sporting events themselves. It also has stories of athletes lives and even social media activity of bantering teammates on twitter all on one easy to use website.
As you can see here Bardown takes reactions from twitter to describe peoples reactions of Auston Matthews first goal in the World Cup of Hockey. It is safe to say that people are excited for the new 1st overall pick to be joining the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Bardown is a website that uses many different texts in order to engage its users. Photographs catch the eyes of readers and the text in the article or possibly a video further describes the catchy title of the post.
This website appeals to me due to my love of sports. It allows me to go to one place to see what is going in the world of professional and amateur sport. It also gives you a look at athletes personalities and things they do on their off time which makes them seem more human and not these outrageous athletic machines that do nothing but train and count calories 24/7.
