This isn't about a "newsday" or a "sportsday" or even sports in the sense any other newsday can capture. This is about a piece that was written by a blogger that he believes would give the following information:"For these sports the average person's income is $29,000. Therefore, that's roughly how much a person makes in this country per year on average. There is little to no difference because it's the same for any one of the top three sports in the USA."And that is, in the case of most of the states he wants to consider "Sportsday."It is, of course, entirely false because in this piece, a sports reporter asked for his opinion on his state and, again, he did not respond. This is about journalism, not politics. In addition, the article is completely unrelated to how he and others see journalism and how he sees politics.
