The internet is filled with websites that cater to "professionals" who tell you what you should think about a variety of topics in the sports world, whether they're former players, coaches, or random people who may have covered a team or two in past years. We read their opinions and their takes on important matters throughout sports.
And where does that leave us? It allows us to comment in a small thread or comment section, where our comments will be jumbled in with countless others on the large sports corporation's website and eventually passed by, our rich opinions thrown to the wayside.
That's where we come in. At Fan Voice, you write the stories. Write about what's important to you, whether it's about your favorite team or a popular subject matter that you have a different take on. Fan Voice is written for the fans, by the fans.
We provide exposure and compensation for some of the most talented independent writers on the web. Whether you're a longtime freelance writer or just a diehard fan, there's probably a place for you at Fan Voice.
If you want to put your two cents in, come visit us at Fan Voice -- for fans, by fans.

I love your little tag line - "for fans, by fans." I think that it really helps your clientele allow themselves to get involved in the website without the fear of being overrun or undermined by “real” sports writers.

I'm not sure if you are going to make Fan Voice an actual website but I think it is a great idea that would be really popular. I'm sure it might be a little hard to monitor once you find millions of fans visiting your site but it would be worth it if you could manage it.

I agree with Shauna ^^^^. FV sounds like a cool business/ writing adventure. You could easily do it for living via web advertising. :)

Fan Voice is a great idea. It's always important to know your customers and Fan Voice certainly focuses on the customer, in this case the fan. You should think about really making this happen.

This is a great idea for a website. I think other sports fans will love reading and writing about their own ideas and what's important to them. More importantly, the writers get recognized for their work! :)

I like fan voice because it is simply created by a fan for the sole reason to give other fans a platform to use their voice, without putting more money in business exec's pockets. I would love to see this idea come to light!

I love the fact that you are giving the chance for sports writers to get noticed. It is a tough market to get high on the totem pole, but you are putting them into the right direction with this angle.

This is a great idea! I bet you could really work with this idea this semester and actually do it. I feel like there's a real market out there for this type of a website.
