The majority of information that the public receives on sports is through mass media, such as sports broadcasters like Sportsnet or through the sports section of the newspaper. My alternative media source “Take The Piss,” allows the fans and public to interact with one another; they are able to post their views and opinions on this website. When getting sports information through a mass media, you only hear the opinions and viewpoints of the editor of that particular TV station or newspaper. This website allows local and international fans to comment on each others posts, share their own thoughts by writing their own blogs and explore forums. Since this website is open to everyone and anything can be posted on it, it challenges fans and people to stick up for their team. Since negative comments can be made this challenges fans to defend their team and give their opinions on what they believe in the most. I believe http://www.takethepiss.com/ is successful because after exploring the website I realized how people can influence and change other’s opinions.
