ESPN Chicago

There are a plethora of websites and blogs that are dedicated to the Chicago White Sox. These sites offer current news and information on the White Sox performance and any trade rumors or issues surrounding the team.  Although they are often opinion based and somewhat biased because fans or employees of the organization normally write them, these sites still offer extensive background information to the White Sox. A particular website that I found interesting was the ESPN Chicago White Sox blog.  There are an extensive amount of posts on the site that keep fans and enthusiasts up to date with information on the current White Sox.  Each post is fairly short but still provides a sufficient amount of information.  There are also sections after each entry for readers to post comments and engage in a discussion.  Readers also have the option to share the story on Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites.  This helps increase the volume of visitors to ESPN Chicago’s site.  Unlike other sites, ESPN Chicago offers stories and posts about each Chicago sports team.  There is a main page with the most current information about sports in Chicago, and then each team has their own section.  The Bulls, Bears, Hawks, White Sox and Cubs all have areas of the page dedicated to them and their fans.  This shows that ESPN Chicago is able to diversify their customer base and cater to a greater number of fans by choosing not to focus on a specific team or sport.  The link to the website is http://espn.go.com/chicago/
