Yardbarker raise $6 million in funding

According to Venturebeat sports blogging site Yardbarker has received $6 million in funding.
Yardbarker says it will use the money to expand its engineering and sales teams. Due to its targeted focus, the company says advertisers are loving it; it’s already has sports-related brands like 2K sports, vitaminwater and Sony PlayStation on board
I’m amazed major sport leagues haven’t followed Yardbarker’s model. It’s simple, give athletes a platform to blog freely on league sites and allow fans to leave comments. What a great idea!
