I judge the jobs I've had in this business by the places they took me, and by that standard, there simply has been nothing to match 'The National Sports Daily.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People are confused when you work for a national sports outlet and they've never seen you on a local affiliate.
We judge athletes as if we all don't have trouble performing our various duties from time to time.
Professional sports is a business.
For the tiny percentage of people who are negatively affected by our embracing of standards, they can just get their sports somewhere else in the meantime. It's not like we're denying them hospital care.
Sports and management are not as diverse as people think.
Unlike any other business in the United States, sports must preserve an illusion of perfect innocence.
I'm not saying that the press is wrong to report any internal differences we have, but at the same time, I think it's our job to keep them from becoming public issues, for anything that detracts from the purely athletic aspects of the sport is bad for us.
Sportswriters have changed more than sportswriting.
The thing that all sports have in common is that they have no fantasy elements, which is a little weird.
The sports world is an echo chamber. All it takes is one quote from a general manager and a thousand sports columns bloom.
