    Remember the sports fan lobbying group that you're supposed to love and/or be scared of?

    No.

    I would trust the Board of Directors more if the first letters of their names were lowercase like bell hooks. #sportsfancoalition

    First of all, the buttons on the right are way too big. I want to read your site, not donate my first-born.

    The color scheme is terrible. Dirty grey and faded blue? What is this, the Civil War?

    The link-highlighting on the bar across the top doesn't always work, and its kind of confusing.

    You might want to focus your audience a little bit; you say "sports fans" but it seems like you cater much more to football fans. I don't think tennis fans really give a shit about your site.

    Also, its kind of obvious that you're a front for multi-million dollar companies.

    This is the worst Learning Curve site yet, AJ. #sportsfancoalition

    I predict that their influence will extend somewhere in between that of the Disciples of Apocalypse and the Nation of Domination. #sportsfancoalition

    The Sports Fans Coalition has an actual working website now and in this day and age that make you legit.

    So Deadspin is only half-legit?

    If I'm not mistaken, the moral of this story is: you should screw both the cable and satellite companies AND support local businesses by going to your neighborhood sports bar and watching the games there. That way making a fraction of the price per individual viewer that they would otherwise be making if everyone signed up for all their crazy, exclusionary packages. #mediameltdowns
