There was always some criticism of bloggers initially for speaking without access on sports and the culture, so eventually, some bloggers became more assertive and staked out a place in the media, started getting access and building their reputation. It's not something I aspired to, and have never attained, which is fine for me, especially as there was a time that people had assumed I had access, and there was an extra layer of oversight and ultimately criticism that I just don't need in my life. As social media has expanded, so too has the marketing and social media teams of clubs. Instead of fans talking about their team and reflecting the positives and achievements as bloggers, there are now team employees, with direct access to the teams presenting some of the non-news content from teams. They cut out the middle man, and now these employees have ACCESS. It's with that lens of privelege and dedication that we can find out htat so many Vancouver Canucks really like homestands, because the best part of being at home is being at home. Wow.
