Watch Out for the Chin Music....
After visiting www.ctweblogs.com, I found a weblog titled “Sidearm Delivery.” The author refers to himself as “brushback” and is based in Connecticut. The story he was focusing on revolved around a Russian professional hockey league that was having grave financial problems leading to some of the players abandoning the team. The site was truly individualistic containing legitimate sporting news coupled with uncensored editorials.
Money Problems for Dynamo
The team in Russia, Dynamo Moscow, did not pay star player Pavel Rosa his due salary for the past three months so he defected to a Swedish league. The Russian Super League began a protest, claiming that Rosa did not follow proper procedure when leaving the league. Rosa and his agent considered his contract with the league voided due to non-payment.
The author of this article is clearly a die-hard hockey fan if he is reporting on Russian hockey leagues. His news was both informative and complete. He researched Russian news sources and cited them properly. His reporting had no signs of personal bias and all his main ideas were clear and distinct.
As for the weblog itself, it was clearly a fan page. His biographical information was crude and nonsensical. His passion for hockey and baseball are clearly visualized with motion images and still shots of his favorite players. It was an interesting paradox to see such an intense sports fan write so clearly and without bias in his articles. It was a refreshing site.
