What is Versus?
SportsWriters has created Versus. A new way to compare and debate articles written by two sports writers with clashing views. SportsWriters identifies a hot topic and locates two writers (typically from different markets) who have expressed an opinion on that topic, and have written an article with supporting arguments.
The result is a thought provoking opinion match up.
Everything is up for debate with Versus!
