Why I Like Bloggers

Here is a very creative, thoughtful and frankly honest set of articles about our team; our players; and the industry. Nice artwork, too!

I am sure the blogosphere will be tough-minded on us. I won’t complain but I get to comment as well back on my blog. This give and take is what makes the blogosphere go round.

I am sure the bloggers will argue with one another, too. And share and comment on each other’s point of view.

I think this is all goodness. It generates interest and shines a light on the great game of basketball.

Blog away. Comment away. Generate those pixels. Feed the algorithm.

Love the game and respect the fans. These folks care about the game. They are passionate. They work very hard all for the love of the game. I am impressed with the diligence shown here. Thank you.

Let The Bloggers In

There are more than 150 million daily active bloggers around the world.

Blogging makes people happy. It is a big part of their self-expression.

I blog every single day.

Tens of thousands of people hear what is on my mind via my blog.

Bloggers deserve our respect and our gratitude.

They work hard. They generate pixels. Pixels generate interest and higher rankings on Google and other search engines. Higher rankings generate more click though. More click through means more relevance with today’s citizens. And it is good business, too!

Bloggers tell more stories. Bloggers reach every nook and cranny of fan interest. Bloggers are passionate and talented. They care about your franchise.

As long as they abide by published and official guidelines I will always support the blogosphere as well as the mainstream media.

As an aside, if there are 150 million plus bloggers today, ISN’T IT TIME WE RECOGNIZE THEM as MAINSTREAM MEDIA?! Can’t get more mainstream than 150 million people.

Bloggers covering sports teams is like oxygen - get used to it!

Bloggers always welcome here. Thank you. Read this blog story.

Another Question to be Answered…

Wow - this Canadian journalist is so misinformed. Our team is one of the most covered teams by MSM in the NHL. At last year’s playoff games, we had a SRO press box and YES, we allowed bloggers to join the fray. So the answer is YES - Yes -Yes. Bloggers are welcome into the Capitals press box. Always have been and always will be. It is our responsibility to manage a big tent and welcome anyone who will generate pixels for the team.

Hockey Mom is Rocking

Hockey Mom is really starting to get traction. The community is getting a really diverse set of opinions and viewpoints. We embrace everyone. The blogosphere is a big tent and I am in love with this latest set of blogs. Also check out “Love the game, Don’t Like Puck Bunnies.” I think the more voices and more bloggers the merrier. Looking forward to seeing all of the bloggers soon at Kettler and then at Verizon. Go Caps!
