If it's anything like the facebook livestream game that had a live comment feed next to the game, we're one **** pic away from it being a bad idea.  I get that they want engagement from the fans, but you gotta be careful.

Nevermind, completely misinterpreted this.  For some reason I thought they were going to be some sort of broadcasting partner for CUSA.

You can’t post pics during the feed.. If you are implying an image appearing via the use of characters, they likely have character limits in those feeds..

Also, this not a video platform.. from reading it sounds like it’s a company that assists and aids in growing the clients marketing bases.

By getting the player interviewed and content made.. Will be a huge help for Fine or Singletary in terms of national media as well potentially
