Hello there. Welcome to FOIAball. Did you know that we are less than a year old? 

In that short time, our work has been cited in publications across the media. We’ve been picked up by the New York Times, the New York Post, the Daily Mail, TMZ, 404 Media, Vox, the Los Angeles Times, Bloomberg, Sportico, Sports Illustrated, Axios, Front Office Sports, The Miami New Times, and Pablo Torre Finds Out.

We’ve gone viral for both hard-hitting reporting and utterly inane exposés. It’s the reporting your favorite reporters are reading. Not bad for a website that didn’t exist eight months ago.
