I don't know why sportswriters always have to write bad things about Joaquin Andujar.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Why is there no respect for Joaquin Andujar?
A lot of writers, probably because they're sensitive, which makes them want to be writers, have fears about their masculinity, so they overcompensate by having an interest in boxing and tough-guy things.
Sometimes the writing can be so good that the actor doesn't really have to do anything.
Every time you write anything, at least half your readers are going to disagree with you. A big part of sports writing is how you respond to that tension.
It's often wrong to write for specific actors because one ends up using what is least interesting about them, their mannerisms and habits. I prefer not to write for specific people.
People don't understand how much influence they can actually have on a writer, how much a writer's feelings can be hurt, how much they can deflect his course when they raise their voices like they did over highly personal books like 'Panama' or 'Bullet Park.'
Sportswriters have changed more than sportswriting.
Yeah, writers do hate writing.
I think of sports writers as mediating between two worlds. Athletes probably think of sports writers as not macho enough. And people in high culture probably think of sports writers as jocks or something. They are in an interestingly complex position in which they have to mediate the world of body and the world of words.
It's well known that actors are lousy writers.
