Research

As of now my research has been going quite well. I’ve been keeping up with the San Diego Chargers blog and keeping mental notes on their progress. As opposed to my initial proposal to try to find identity in each blogger, I have decided that it would be more sensible to observe how the identity of the San Diego Chargers is formed through the writing of the bloggers. Research wise I suppose the main challenge at hand is just trying to observe an identity for a team as opposed to an individual. Each of the individuals have different identities so trying to observe the culmination of each individual collectively seems challenging. Also, considering this is a sports team their identity is really only formed based on their actions during the game. If the team isn’t playing then there isn’t much to tell about them. But nonetheless the team can still be described and their statistics can really show what this team is made of and how far they may go. That is in essence what I hope to find out. What does this team hope to prove to the rest of the league and do their stats support that? So far it’s unclear seeing as the team is 2-3, but they may stage a comeback as they have in previous years.
