I would love to freelance write for my two favorite sports basketball and baseball especially basketball. I love to watch the NBA when I can and to me there is so many talented players to watch ( Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, Chris Paul, Derrick Rose which is my new favorite player, Dwight Howard, Yao Ming, Steve Nash, Dirk Nowtizki, Kevin Durant, Greg Oden, Brandon Roy and so many more talented players.
Scott now is the best time to start freelance writing about sports because many website owners have sports related products that they need content for. Think about writing niche PLR content and selling it to web publishers.

Miss RA, even though my profession is golf my passion has always been football (soccer) and anything that got to do with with football. I would love to write football articles part-time. Is there a site you know of who welcome articles written by freelance writers? It does not have to pay or provide benefits. All im looking for is a platform to write my football articles.
