Sports Section, 2.0: YourSports Launches Its Ambitious Project To Build The Facebook Of Sports

Screen shot 2012-10-11 at 5.09.51 PM"There's a major piece missing from the social graph," Chris McCoy tells me over coffee, "and it's sports." Naturally, McCoy is a former baseball player, Quora devotee and a religious consumer of all things sports. But, perhaps surprisingly, he's not alone in the way he views the current sports landscape. While ESPN, BleacherReport, Twitter and countless others are busy digitizing the consumption of sports content, the problem, McCoy says, is that the mainstream sports media only covers a small percentage of the sports market.
