Despite spending much of his early days of retirement walking around the city with girlfiend, Hannah Davis, Derek Jeter has decided to officially kick off his retirement by launching a new website. The site will be “devoted to delivering athletes ‘unfiltered’ views to their fans.” Jump on it and check out further details on this story and new website !!!
The Players Tribune is being billed as a digital company that will offer unique access to top athletes in every sport — from videos to photos to podcasts and more — without having to deal with reporters to do it.
In a statement on the site that posted Wednesday, Jeter said he wants it to “transform how athletes and newsmakers share information, and bring fans closer than ever to the games they love.”
Jeter — who admits to being guarded with reporters — attributed his success in what he called “the toughest media market” to being careful about what he said.
“Those simple answers have always stemmed from a genuine concern that any statement, or opinion or detail, might be distorted,” he wrote in his letter on the site.
But he said fans deserve to hear more from players than “no comments” and his site will allow a direct connection to the athlete.
“We just need to be sure our thoughts will come across the way we intend,” he wrote.
COOL IDEA ! WELCOME TO THE DIGITAL WORLD DEREK JETER, BEST OF LUCK!
