Sports and the internet

I was commenting on the eye broccoli blog about how irritated I am with the constant flood of news on the websites of major media outlets. I wrote about my tendencies to filter out much of what is written due to much of the biased and rushed reporting that is a staple of the modern day media. I began to feel a little bit negative after that post. I can think of many positive aspects of real time news reporting on the internet. In fact, I just got done checking a fantasy basketball team, and I am truly amazed on how much that industry has been affected by the medias handle on internet. The constant flow of information coming from the sports world has allowed millions of people to educate themselves in sports. Following any team in the world and betting on any team or athlete in the world is just a click away. 

I know I know...sports is just.....sports. But for many, turning on a baseball game at the end of the day has always been a great way to relax. Now, folks can relax and make a little bit of money at the same time. Can't complain about that.
