Is it ever OK in the "sports column/opinion" space, compared to "sports reporting"? I definitely agree with you about national broadcasts. I don't want any bias from the announcers in that setting. And national sports reporting. What about local sportscasters?
Lots to dig into, here! And yes, totally random that you ended up a Pacers fan. But Reggie Miller was fun to watch, for sure.
There's nuance here, for sure. If someone is using their fandom as a vehicle to share a personal story, I'm here for that, but saying that's my team after announcing a draft selection, a win, loss, etc., I find it to be obnoxious and off-putting.
Yeah, I can see that perspective. A personal connection here and there...great. It humanizes sports. But bringing fandom into the reporting side of things is what's bothersome. Makes sense. Thanks for the discussion.
