As a social media enthusiast, I think it's great. However as a sports fan I can't help but fixate on the impersonal nature of it all that you mentioned. I'm a rabid football (soccer) fan, supporting a team here in the UK, and the bit that keeps me coming back week after week isn't as much the game (we lose a lot) as the social experience. The banter and arguments with fellow fans, and the human interaction. By removing myself from that to do it all through Twitter, I'd feel like I'd be ruining my own enjoyment of the game.
