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.

  • Versus presents each article, side by side, with a summary of key points.
  • Readers can rate the match up, and comment on who makes the more compelling argument.
  • Directly below the match up, readers provide their critical comments.
  • What makes Versus unique, is that you can see how each commenter voted, and you can rate their comment.
  • Writers get rated on their article, and Members on their comments.

Everything is up for debate with Versus!

    I can't see how this is all going to mesh. It can't, at the moment, with Kyrie MIA. But even if he comes back and everyone is singing Kumbaya, it doesn't appear to be a good fit for a trio. Kyrie and Harden dribble too much and dominate the ball. I guess we'll see.
