Is it possible to have a Sports Business category on SpoFi? I presume that many fans don't want their sport-specific categories filled with business items (though you can't always separate the two nowadays), and I don't think the intent of Culture is to host these stories either. I assume that one day you'll be able to choose the categories you want to see only, and I wouldn't want to read about Baseball, but I would be interested in reading articles about the business of baseball.

Wow... I'd read some of Rovell's work, and I think that they are great [despite his knocks on the IBM Linux/Basketball ads] but I'd not seen the whole category. Baseballprospectus.com and others also do great sports business stuff from time to time; I think overall it would be a great idea to have a category for it.

Also, Richard Sandomir writes for the NY Times about sports business and media... good stuff.

Capital idea. I knew Darren "before he was cool" back from our days at the mothership.

excellent, smithers. I think it's a good idea. Darren Rovell of ESPN.com has had some great pieces, and I see that ESPN.com has a section just for Sports Business.
