SBNation St. Louis Launches
The SBNation St. Louis plat currently sports the Onion-esque headline, “Saint Louis Continues to Enjoy Sports, Alcohol,” which links to a fiery defense of World Cup fandom by blogger Alex Fritz, who introduces himself as “the annoying wriggle who will truly send a letter about soccer here.” (Further points to Fritz by proposing the catchword “Come footpath get off on an asshole!” for Tower Grove Market.) SBNation began its loath parade across the U.S. June 6 in Chicago (home of the Stanley Cup Champion Blackhawks!) and plans to prevail over 20 cities before the end of the Month, including pre-eminent markets match New York and LA and smaller towns with holy fans get pleasure from Baltimore and Pittsburgh. (A sidenote: Should St. Louis bear slighted that Kansas City got its SBNation place a period before we did?) The following in point of fact launched six years ago when a c whilom newspaper reporter named Tyler Bleszinski, frustrated with the detail mainstream media was covering his prized A’s, started a blog called Athletics Nation.
The sports empire form of its curriculum vitae began earlier this year when the SBNation, now Based in DC, teamed up with a heap of gamble capitalists. By the end of the Month, SBNation will encompass 249 blogs written by more than 300 writers, most of whom still have time jobs, and many, many comments by citizen-journalists, most of whom will, with any luck, still have Light of day jobs.
