The Sports Communication Interest Group was established in 2010. SPORTS is designed to support AEJMC members who are scholars and teachers of sports-related courses, including those in the areas of journalism, broadcasting, advertising/marketing and sports information/public relations with a balanced agenda that focuses on teaching, scholarship and issues of professional freedom and responsibility.

This is a long and thorough examination of who Clay Travis is, how he elevated himself partly, or greatly, thanks to the critiques of ESPN (my opinion: some of which, frankly, are relevant; much are hyperbole.)
Travis seems to be a good example of the growing power of those who find a political point of view, find every angle to promote it, in this case with some questionable if not completely unfair context.
Anyway, enough of what I think, you should read it.
Maybe it's a conversation starter for the group.
