As you prepare your Discussion post, please make sure to address:

Does being a fan affect you? Ex: When your team wins, how do you feel? How about when they lose?
Why do sport outcomes affect our lives so much?

The purpose of this discussion is for us to realize the importance of sports fans to this industry.

The theme and focus of this journal assignment and future journal assignments this semester is to review current articles in Street & Smith’s Sports Business Journal. Throughout each module, you will pick out a story in the Sports Business Journal and conduct a journal review. With your Sports Business Journal subscription, you will have access to the archives online. You must choose an article (not beyond 6 months old & of at least 2 pages of content) and write a review. Discuss the main points of the article as well as ramifications to the sports industry. You can give your insight, but I encourage you to use secondary sources to back up your comments. This will get you familiar with conducting some research as well as learning about the industry's leading news resource.

In a 3 paragraph written journal response, address the following points:
What is the article about?
Who does this topic or issue impact in the sports industry?
Are there any future ramifications to the industry based on this article? If so, please give your insight.
Personally reflect on how you can benefit from the information in the article.
