*We Need To Start Recruiting More

[ztevans]

Of course I'm not talking about the bad kind of drama. We don't need that and I don't think I really need to draw a specific distinction. But I bring up the RocNation stuff because people seemed to love it, it caught on real quick, and gave players another reason/medium to stay invested. Instead, the way it panned out, it may have hurt the league more than helped (not point fingers, but I think we can all agree on that).

Oh, I'm admittedly not terribly familiar with the RocNation situation, but from what I vaguely recall of it I would agree and I think I'm picking up what you're putting down. One thing I've noticed from browsing through media is there is a lot more variety than in the SHL, both in terms of content (analysis, narrative, etc.) and scope. You don't see a ton of "free agency/draft rankings" which I'd say is a good thing. Media about the league engages people to read it and comment on it. There's not much to say if I rank which teams I want to go to in the draft, it's rather self-serving.

Give people something to talk about and it engages them more, even if it can be controversial or spark heated debate. As long as it's league related - at least tangentially - and not mean-spirited, people will stay tuned.
