Sports fans are one of Twitter's core audiences. The microblogging giant hasn't been shy about their interest in working with established brands, and a new job listing indicates that Twitter's significantly boosting their original sports content.

The help wanted advertisement, for a Sports Editorial Associate Producer, has job responsibilities that signal Twitter's interest in doing something with sports. Alongside standard internal communications duties, the freelance position requires the producer to “monitor and curate a live stream of Twitter sports content,” and “write pithy, smart content in under 140 characters.”
