Soccernet.com Credibility

I got into watching soccer over the summer. I'm a big basketball fan and watching the players' movements on the field is very similar to watching basketball players move around the court. Plus, it's just a beautiful game to watch.

I decided to do my credibility assignment over Soccernet.com. It started out as a soccer news site for English Scottish leagues. In 1999 is was bought by the Buena Vista Internet group. Years later, it was purchased by ESPN and it is now a part of ESPN's website.

It has since expanded to news for all soccer leagues all over the world.

Soccernet is a very credible source. It provides accurate news for the most part free of opinions and biases. And now that it is owned by such a credible source as ESPN, Soccernet's own credibility has skyrocketed. But it has a history of providing accurate information, so be acquired by ESPN has only helped.
