This is what passes for Yahoo sports news these days.

In early April, Manvel (Texas) High junior wide receiver Gary Haynes told Rivals.com, "I'm really working on my speed right now. Like my straightline speed, like track speed. That's why I'm running track."
Less than a month later, Haynes' offseason work appears to be paying early dividends, as the unranked Class of 2015 recruit showed off his blazing speed by throwing a 50-yard pass to himself in a Vine post.

Come on, this doesnt even remotely look legit.

When did Yahoo become a SPORTS reporting outlet ?

Heard of Rivals?

If you mean before they acquired them, then the sports site launched in 1997.

So they've been at it a while.

My point was, every Tom , Dick and Harry are Reporters now.

TMZ is the same way.

Apparently anyone with a Cell phone is now a reporter.

That's true, and this was from a blog. Terrible that this made it to not only front page of the sports section, but front page of Yahoo period.


That said, Yahoo has one of the most visited sports pages in the net.
It's generally where I go first, especially for college football news.

If they let stuff like this go through, maybe less and less likely

AND Rivals.com is considered by many as the premier high school talents site on the web.

You are right on TMZ and anyone with a cell phone camera.

Yeah, it seems like yahoo sports does break a lot of stories.

Question is, are they responsible if they get them wrong ?

Not being accountable means they can speculate, anyone can speculate.

 

[Ronnie-]

If they do that people quit coming to the site for news. Fewer hits, less traffic. Less ad revenue.

They won't start speculating significantly for that reason alone.
