I was asked to do a followup to my Introduction to the Netizen Empowerment Federation. Specifically, I was asked to talk a bit more about the goals of Sportazine.com and how it fits into free culture. I thought the best way to do that was to introduce my Sportazine.com co-founder, Jeffrey Powers.

A May 2011 estimate puts the sports industry at 350-450 billion ($480-$620 billion) <a href="https://www.atkearney.com/en_GB/paper/-/asset_publisher/dVxv4Hz2h8bS/content/the-sports-market/10192">https://www.atkearney.com/en_GB/paper/-/asset_publisher/dVxv4Hz2h8bS/content/the-sports-market/10192</a> -- it is inarguably foolish to ignore it. I don't think you are going to convince anyone to change their ways by shouting at them, or quietly being condescending.

Professional video game players get athletic visas in the US, and are covered by ESPN (<a href="https://kotaku.com/some-sports-fans-upset-espn-is-airing-video-game-tourna-1608298005">https://kotaku.com/some-sports-fans-upset-espn-is-airing-video-game-tourna-1608298005</a>) so I suppose we might as well. How much do you cover video games on your various sites?
