PROFILE |
 |
The sports portals have one less rival. Affinity network builder Rival Networks, which sold advertising and e-commerce opportunities on some 600 independent sports related Web sites, closed its doors in 2001 after burning through $70 million in startup cash and attempts to sell the company fell through. Its sites covered a variety of high school, college, and professional sports teams, as well as tennis, soccer, and extreme sports. It had also launched European and Japanese versions of its Web sites. The company had been started in 1999 by J.C. Heckman Jr., who abruptly left the company in 2000. News Corporation owned almost half the company through subsidiary News America, while Heckman had about 20%.
