The Internet has given everyone access to all kinds of information, especially sports information. Everyone is able to look at national stories, newspapers from every part of the country, millions of fans blogs and also more in-depth statistical analysis. One problem with all of these sites is that many of the in-depth statistical analysis sites are paid subscription sites. Not only do they cost money, but they can be pretty expensive.
Sites like FootballOutsiders.com and BaseballProspectus.com are really valuable for sports fans, because of all their information, but not everyone is willing to pay for them. I think these leads to a lot of really good opportunities for sports writers. People who are writing, and have jobs, should be able to pay for these sites to get a lot of valuable information to help their readers and bring a lot of these new statistics to the mainstream.
Also, people who are looking into ways to get into the business, I think there is an opportunity to get into sports writing by creating or dissecting this information for a free site.
