TalkSports is a user-generated sports site run by Rapid Spiral Development that has attracted controversy because of gossip and photos contributed by users about the private lives of professional athletes.[2] The web site contains forums for every major sport athlete where fans can discuss, post pictures and links. "We get a lot of comments about players cheating or whether he has a big or small you-know-what," site publisher Randy Charles Morin told The Globe and Mail. The website was featured in the Washington Post[4] and Canoe.ca[5] websites. Morin began the site after a blog post he wrote about hockey player Sidney Crosby in 2005 received a comment from a female asking whether Crosby had a girlfriend. He said in an interview with Drama Scene Live Radio, "Google immediately picked up that new comment and within a few days that page was getting 1,000 hits per day. And I thought, I've got an idea ...The owner of the website got this idea when he was engaging in extramarital affairs himself. Sadly, no one reported these affairs because he is a nobody."[6] A 2014 profile of the site in ESPN the Magazine called its visual design "anachronistic, like an Angelfire page that was never snuffed out."[2] Legal issuesTalkSports is often the target of legal challenges by sports athletes and their agents, with Morin telling ESPN he's received lawsuit threats "several hundred times."[2] Some of the threats include:
Morin said he has given hundreds of athletes free site memberships that allow them to delete comments.[2] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|url=http://espn.go.com/espn/story/_/id/11752403/athletes-personal-lives-big-business|publisher=ESPN|title=Athletes' dating lives are big business|author=Mina Kimes|date=October 14, 2014|accessdate=November 14, 2014}} [1][2][3][4][5][6]2. ^1 {{cite news |url=http://voices.washingtonpost.com/dcsportsbog/2008/01/brooks_laich_ladies_man.html |title=Brooks Laich Ladies Man|author=Washington Post | work=The Washington Post}} 3. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Hockey/NHL/Carolina/2007/07/26/4369613-sun.html |title=It's party time on net for Staals|author=Canoe.ca}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.blogtalkradio.com/dramascenelive/2010/08/11/lets-talk-sportsits-not-what-you-know-but-what-u-can-prove|date=Aug 11, 2010|accessdate=May 11, 2014|title=Let's talk sports ... it's not what you know but what you can prove|publisher=Drama Scene Live Radio}} 5. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.talk-sports.net/game/?guid=20080929012533 |title=Warrick Dunn v TalkSports}} 6. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.talk-sports.net/game/?guid=20080806014708 |title=Shaun Phillips v TalkSports}} }} External links
