I've always enjoyed ESPN's E-Ticket series offering an in-depth look into sports issues that would never make it onto their main page but are perhaps more relevant to everyday life. The pieces are longer than typical ESPN articles but are well worth the 10-15 minutes it takes to read.
Here are some of my favorites from 2007:
- Base Jumping
- Continuous Running
- China and 2008 Olympics
- Save the Whalers
- Rolling in Rubles
- Death Race 2007
All of these in-depth articles made me learn and see new perspectives: for example, I'd never have known how dangerous base jumping is, how crazy continuous running can be, the issues China is facing heading into the Olympics, the passion of high school football in Alaska, the money being thrown around in the "new economy" of Russia, or anything about the Death Race. Make sure to read some of the E-Tickets linked above!
