Over the last couple of weeks or so, a debate has been being passed back and forth between
football bloggers over both the present and future of what they do. On the one hand, we have seen
the introduction of a new news feed service which has angered some that are seeking to make a
living from their writing whilst, on the other, the behaviour of an established football website
(which could clearly be described as "Mainstream Media") has seen the scales fall from quite a few
eyes on the matter of the ethics of established media sources.

The game next Tuesday in Nashville is at 17,000 tickets sold. Lets get this thing crankin! How
about 25,000 minimum. I heard Jack White is playing a half time concert! OK, maybe not.
I've spent the morning reading a few bookmarked articles on the AOL/Huffington Post takeover in the
New York Times, specifically on whether the Huffington Post makes its money "on the backs" of
unpaid bloggers. If you believe the answer is "yes," I'd recommend reading through Nate Silver's
HuffPo page-view breakdown from last week.
