I never knew about this. Wonder why they did away with it?

That's what SBNation is for now
Because a lot of national writers who were let go from their jobs are now using BR as a platform for their work.

Because the Internet has made it exceedingly difficult to make a living writing about sports.
They did you a favor, kid. Get a real job and write on the side.

There was a huge piece by Deadspin that was written by a former Bleacher report writer who said he worked for them for years and never saw a dollar. Essentially he said that they tell young beat writers to keep moving up the ranks with possibilities of becoming paid, but in the end there never was paid opportunities and it was a scam to just get free content essentially.
I work in the media and Bleacher Report is known to be shite.

What do you need bleacher report for? Start making your own good content. Find a blog or somewhere you'd like your work to end up and network via social media.

A poster here by the name of Bobbyray would love to hear you handicap random tennis matches between people ranked in the 100s
Only if he doesn't know which side the fix is in on tho

There does seem to be a pretty big void regarding tennis content outside of the top players. But I doubt there's enough interest, even globally, to make any money from it. Only degens like me go looking for that info for betting purposes. Casual tennis fans are more interested in doping stories and match fixing.

I noticed that they took away the Bleacher Report Writer Program, with the intent of just having professional writers from now on. So, I have a couple questions. What happens to the people already accepted to the program? They definitely should get to stay with Bleacher Report. And second, will Bleacher Report ever reopen applications to become a writer with the site? I felt like this was a great way for someone who knows sports, or a specific sport, extremely well (and has good writing skills) to get a foot in the door for a journalism career and give them great experience writing for a sports site.
I applied multiple times when I was younger, and was never accepted, much to my shock. I can assure you that I know A LOT about tennis (and the focus of the majority of my applications), and would be extremely qualified to write about tennis. Especially considering how little content, and few writers, Bleacher Report has on its site (LINK ). I also have bet on tennis a lot, so I could offer that perspective, as well (in addition to my general knowledge). I have even followed the ATP Challenger Tour some! It's just very frustrating.
Does anyone know if there is a future for the Bleacher Report Writer Program?
Come at me with your tennis knowledge, bro.
