boston sports media criticize blogging...again


once again, the boston sports media has publicly criticized curt schilling for blogging. curt has been under attack, not just in the media, but solely by the media of boston for creating a blog...38pitches. this latest piece, by nick cafardo, is a few weeks after dan shaughnessy ripped schilling's blog and the blogging community with a satirical 'made up' quote.

"The players who come through the Sox organization are taught that playing the game is the most important thing. They are taught to be courteous and cooperative with the media and to allow their personalities to come through in interviews, but not to compromise themselves or the organization."

"Organizations are finding out how dangerous unedited blogs can be. Agents also understand. General managers I've talked with are against them, feeling the attention they get isn't worth it."



***how do you feel about public figures, particularly athletes, blogging?***
***do you think the media is upset because they are no longer the sole source of information for the public?***
