All it takes is one sports owner to step forward and encourage fans to bring digital cameras and video cameras to the game and take pictures and videos of their favorite players and game action. Heck, I’d even give the fans memory cards at the door at something like "Secure Digital Media Night.". Then, offer these amateur photogs and videophiles spots on the team’s Web sites for the best of those pictures and videos to be displayed. Let other fans vote on the ones they like best…have fun with it.

The league might bristle at this; after all, they need to protect their proprietary interests and the interests of the players. Hogwash. All it takes is one progressive owner to understand how much it will excite the fans. So, we know who that owner is… A sports nation turns its wistful eye to you, Mark Cuban.
