Live blogging the World Series – it’s allowed!

Unlike the College World Series, the World Series can be live blogged from the stadium. Not me (I wish), but Ray Krueger of the New York Times.

As I blogged this summer, the NCAA ejected Brian Bennett, a writer for The Louisville Courier-Journal, when he refused to stop blogging a college baseball playoff game. Did so on the basis that live coverage rights were sold to ESPN.

Hard to believe Bud Selig is smarter than the NCAA when it comes to blogs. Maybe it’s Rupert Murdoch’s Fox Sports, which is broadcasting the World Series, being a lot smarter than Disney’s ESPN, which had the live broadcast rights to college baseball. Murdoch, a huge proponent of user generate content, is not nearly stupid enough to get caught up in something as nutty as outlawing live blogging from sporting events.
