First blog

This blog will discuss some different aspects of sport video games.  Specifically the three most popular, football, soccer, and basketball. The topics to be explored will be the financial ramifications, improvements, compensating college athletes, money tournaments, glitches and cheats within the games, and history.  News articles from Time, The Economist, New York Times, and USA today will be cited.  TED talks, CNN, Gamespot, ESPN, RT, EA Sports, and Wikipedia will be other online sources utilized.  
The financial ramification blog will focus on how much money the game generates for the company.  These sport games are released annually and there will be a blog outlining improvements the games have made over the years. The compensating college athletes topic will discuss how the collegiate athletes likeness and information was used without their consent and used without compensation.  Another blog will highlight the cash tournaments and go into detail how many people play and how much they can win.  Glitches and cheats have been a part of almost every sports game made and I plan to discuss the different instances they occurred and the problems caused by them. The history blog will depict the timeline of events associated with each game.
