ABOUT US
BackmarkerSPORTS: The home of armchair sports journalism
As a self-avowed sports addict, I needed an outlet for my ramblings about sport. Since nobody would listen, I launched BackmarkerSPORTS—a journal where I share my unfiltered armchair thoughts, analyses, and opinions on everything from big matches to the deeper questions in the world of sport. You won’t find any corporate jargon here—just honest views from a fan’s perspective. Whether you’re a fellow supporter or simply seeking a fresh take on sports, I invite you to pull up a chair and join the conversation.
