Hi Friends
World Sports Journalists Day is a global professional observance held on July 2. It was established by the International Sports Press Association (AIPS) in 1994 to mark the 70th anniversary of its foundation.
World Sports Journalists Day was created in 1994 to commemorate the creation of AIPS and to celebrate the achievements of members of the sporting media. It aims at encouraging sports journalists to strive for excellence in their work and to set an example to the world – not only to the world of sport, but to the world at large.
The term “sports journalism” refers to a form of writing that reports on sporting topics, it is an essential element of any news media organization. There are a lot of national and local associations of sports journalists aimed at maintaining high standards of sports journalism.

Thanks for the tag. I'm not exactly a sports fan but I do enjoy my footy here in Australia. I wonder how many other special days there are for everything. There might be a 'World Cat Day'.
Speaking of which, did anyone follow the Pacquiao/Horn fight in Brisbane yesterday for boxing? Absolutely controversial so I hear.
