(BZZR)Jon Alba, an Emmy Award-winning sportscaster who co-hosts "The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy" with the legendary professional wrestler, told Fox News Digital he believed that there was a space missing for sports fans to connect online without the hate and vitriol.He said it’s what makes BZZR the place to be for those who have cemented themselves as reputable content creators and those looking to get reps in."I have always felt like there was a spot in the sports media space that was unoccupied where a virtual sports bar could meet people who wanted to engage in that space specifically," he said.
"When I was 15 years old, back in the early days of podcasting, podcasting didn't even exist.It was like online sports talk radio.
