Update: To blog or not to blog

The NBA has overturned Mark Cuban’s ban on bloggers in the Dallas Mavericks locker room.
Cuban is still sort of sticking to his guns, though. He has said he will credential any blogger that applies, from “…someone on blogspot who has been posting for a couple weeks,” to “kids blogging for their middle school Web site…”.
Cuban’s original point was that all bloggers should be treated equally, regardless of any journalistic training or affiliation (he’s made numerous very valid points about how newspapers shouldn’t use the term ‘blog’ because it dilutes and distorts the fact that they can provide much higher quality content, but if he’s trying to affect change in how newspapers do their business online, he picked a weird way to do it).
From his point of view, if the league is mandating access for Tim MacMahon of the Dallas Morning News, then we should all get access.
So start looking for those tickets to DFW. We’re going to the Mavs locker room baby! (Of course the Mavs season is pretty much in the toilet and will be over way sooner than I’d like, sooo ummm….hey how about them Cowboys! Only four more weeks until the NFL draft!)
