As the sole authorized source of information regarding the team, the players, the stadium, and so on, teams enjoy an enviable position. However, unofficial outlets (SOON TO BE OFFICIAL) for fan pride and opinion do, of course, exist: fan discussion boards and the like. How to best incorporate the intense interest that exists while balancing $'s is going to be a "fun" journey. I do think Myspace risks alienating users with regards to photobucket because people have invested a lot of time and effort uploading their stuff...users will not want to stop using photobucket and may very well go som eplace that will allow it.
