Dave Kindred knows the odds he’s up against in wanting to save a dying art of his profession, one among many:
“I swim against the contemporary tide on another issue as well. I believe the game story is the heart of sports journalism. The games are the beginnings of all our reporting on personalities, controversies, issues. We cared about Michael Jordan not because he was tall, good-looking, and charming, but because he could play a game better than anyone else ever had. To ignore the games is to tell stories with no foundation. Worse, newspapers and websites that give short shrift to game stories have surrendered to other media in the battle for public attention.”
