Athletes and Blogging

Posted by gilbertology on August 6th, 2007 in Articles

Gilbert Arenas was mentioned briefly today in the LA Times in an article about Athletes linking to their own “Truth” on the Internet

Arenas’ marketing representative, Paisley Benaza, admits “concern” about her basketball-playing client — who she says only recently learned what a blog was — so eagerly awaiting each opportunity he has to post on his increasingly popular NBA.com blog.

The flip side: “I know he always wants to speak for himself and that’s how it is,” Benaza said. “We try not to filter it because that is what makes him Gilbert Arenas. He’s an honest, genuine person that loves his fans.”

    Donovan McNabb, Greg Oden, and a few others also have blogs on yardbarker.com. I think it’s a trend that every fan is getting a kick out of!
