How Social Media Has Forever Changed Sports Journalism
- Either the argument focuses on the here and now, like, who is better Bryce Harper or Mike Trout?
- Or, they are based in some mythological, time-shifting world where people from one generation can compete in another, like, how would Bill Russell perform in today's NBA?
Those where you try to move athletes across generations always add a bit of intrigue, because there aren't just athletic challenges to endure, there are also societal ones.
Could you imagine if Dennis Rodman played in todays social media era? Or Lawrence Taylor? Or Mickey Mantle?
