I believe creating a Fan Blog Spot has several benefits pertaining to this course as well as to professional sports blogging. For starters, I believe it gives us students a different perspective of writing - at least for myself. I am so used to writing in a scholarly fashion where I am expected to be very proper and thorough while blogs are far more casual. Because of that I feel as though they are much easier to write. I also actually enjoy writing about sports because it is something I am extremely interested in.
On the other hand, I think a fan blog can be beneficial for the reader as well. Many times when reading sports articles and magazines published by professionals I feel like I'm not getting the type of answers I'm looking for. A fan blog such as this would provide an interesting perspective of sports organizations through the eyes of a fan rather than, for example, the beat writer for the team.
If I was hired by a team to blog about their organization there are tons of things I would like to write about. I would write about events and issues relevant to the team, upgrades to the venue they play in, do player or coach profiles, focus on weekly or monthly success, write about a specific game from the past or present, or even talk about potential issues with the league or team they play in. I think any of these issues would get readers interested in what I had to say. I think the feedback you would receive as a professional sports blogger would be very rewarding.
