This post was actually brought upon after watching my friend Lisa put up some hilarious video blogs on Facebook. But it is not only Lisa who has become a big fan of blogging. Blogging has become a big hit with athletes as well. Athletes like Donovan McNabb, Curtis Granderson and Greg Oden amongst others. Do a Google search for 'athlete blogs' and 6.42 MILLION results come up. That's MILLION! Now granted alot of those results are probably the same people as posted before, but that is still alot of results.
What makes the blogging world even more interesting is that blogs could be about anything and everything. Some people post about their lives, while others post their thoughts on certain issues. This is the same for athletes as well. From what I saw, some players only post during the season and don't do anything with their blog in the offseason. Then there are athletes like Etan Thomas, a basketball player, who blogs about politics for the Huffington Post.
The creation of things like blogs, Twitter and Facebook have in a sense made people who we thought so highly of, more human. The 'big, bad athlete' is really no more. He is just like you, me or any other joe-shmo.
