EG>No, it didn't. The Internet BROUGHT people into the fold. It allowed LONG

who

    Yeah i agree, i sure like to follow all the games with my favorite
team of the St. Louis Cardinals.  But there is two things that you can
do to follow those teams.  One read the newspapers and keep tabs of
their win loss records and possible stories.  And two to follow the news
and when the local teams of the area you live in face the team that you
like.  And the last things is, if you really want to hear the play by
play of these games in the privacy of your own home.  That the best
thing is to do is write or call your sports radio station in your area
and get them to find a way to carry it.  Of course i guess i can now see
what you saying.  Since the radio stations is like they only carry what
makes ratings.  And i guess i now see your point.  But what about the
damage it does to the stations in the area that are being broadcasted to
the rest of us through the internet.  Where their listeners probably end
up listening through the internet so they don't have to use radio's.
But tht doesn't make sense since radio is free anyways.  I dunno i guess
they just have to debate it somewhere and find a way to make it work for
everyone.
