Hot Shots: Sports Reigns Supreme
Art by Samantha Miller
Over the past semester, a number of my many fans and admirers have asked me the following question: Why do you write for the Sports section?
My answer is always the same: Because Sports is the best section, of course!
For one thing, sports reporting provides unprecedented access to players and coaches. Have you ever screamed through your television at your favorite player, “What were you thinking!?” after they made a questionable decision during a big game? If you have, you’d be a great sports journalist; asking athletes “What were you thinking?” is about 60% of my job.
