Philly Sports Reports’ Story

Philly Sports Reports was founded on May 4, 2017, by Benjamin Goldstein, who was just nine years old and beginning to discover his love for Philadelphia sports. What started as a passion project quickly grew into a dedicated platform for covering the teams that define the city. Now an aspiring sports reporter, Benjamin continues to run Philly Sports Reports. Since its founding, Philly Sports Reports has grown into a collaborative outlet, bringing together a group of fellow aspiring sports reporters to deliver thoughtful analysis, game coverage, and commentary. The site proudly covers the Philadelphia 76ers, Eagles, Flyers, Phillies, and Union, driven by a shared love for Philly sports and a commitment to authentic, fan-first reporting.
