But why do we need a permanent archive of random thoughts about a Yankees game? That would be much better suited to a chat room.

But why do we need a permanent archive of random thoughts about a Yankees game?

As an example: Wouldn't an avid sports fan in 2003 find it interesting to read a "then live thread" of, say, Babe Ruth's final game? etc. One never knows what will develop as the thread is happening live, sports or otherwise. I agree that FR is not a sports channel, but significant sports events are part of our culture. Remember, it was a sports venue that allowed the liberals to crush Rush Limbaugh.
