Should you get yourself some sport emoticons? If you are a man particularly - aren't emoticons well, feminine? World reknown biking champion Lance Armstrong actually took a stand against emoticons. He does however speak against only the smiley face, so how about the icons that clearly shows the yellow round guys doing sport?

You Need to Show Your Loyalty All sports fans know, faithfulness to the team or the sport itself is the priority. Although emoticons might sound a bit too girly at first, you will quickly change your mind when you glimpse at the amazing sports emoticons out there. Download your favorite sport avatar and show new buddies in a click what type of sport you enjoy.

You Want to Find Other Fans No other works as quick as displaying the type of sport you like as your avatar. Add a tennis icon on your profile image or Twitter avatar and you will soon find people to chat about the latest rage displayed by Ms Venus Williams and who the high level seeds are for Wimbledon this year.

You Want to Clearly Categorize Yourself As a Guy Sport emoticons against online harassment? Of course, after all weirder things have taken place. Hopefully this does not occur too many times but with the way mothers of latter years are naming their children, a perfectly manly name is now unisex. And you are frankly over those men you hardly know trying to pick you up and obtain your personal email when you are online talking and chatting. This is probably too much of a generalization but at least, with a sport avatar adorning your profile, the amorous men will think twice before they put on their "Hey, Baby" moves.
