The roar says its do or die for basketball. BS!

I'm not going to defend the article itself, but it should be pointed out that it is NOT talking about the opinion of The Roar as a website. It is the opinion of one particular fan columnist.

The Roar also publishes pieces like my own, which have been overwhelmingly positive of the new broadcast arrangements for this season: http://www.theroar.com.au/2012/10/03/basketball-australia-have-built-it-now-nbl-fans-must-come/

To confuse one article as the opinion of the entire site would be like taking the opening post of a thread here and saying "hoops.com.au says ...!", which would not be correct of course.

Finally, if you want to have your own opinion heard or provide some balance to the debate, The Roar is more than happy to publish your own contribution: http://www.theroar.com.au/contribute/submit/

Cheers,
Michael DiFabrizio (an expert columnist at The Roar)

Anyone who thinks online coverage of sports is a 'misstep' has no clue. Just another half-baked fan opinion piece by the looks.
