The San Diego eXtreme Sports Coalition and the San Diego MLS Project are now working together on initiatives which were originally discussed at the 2008 ASR Winter Show held in San Diego last month...
An interesting set of facts from a Valentine's Day 2008 survey are beginning to be released this week.
A number of famous non-local soccer stars are better known than most local athletes in San Diego, yet they get ignored by the news media here. Similarly, mega-star Shaun White who IS from here, and who IS ALSO better known here than just about any other local athlete, also gets ignored by many in the local news business. This is all the more reason for our two sports fan categories to work together.
The young peoples' sports are the ones getting ignored, and that generation's athletes deserve to be covered better by all news media. They are great role models, and everyone deserves to know their accomplishments. See the initial report from today here...
