Assignment - Sports Management Discussion
Description - The written game story has evolved considerably from its first appearances in print during the late 1800s to today's online offerings. Your task is to locate a classic game story (defined has having occurred prior to 1990) and compare it with a contemporary version for the same team (and if possible, the same publication).
For example, after some research you might locate a game story about Colorado State's football team written in the Collegian, Denver Post, Rocky Mountain News (or any other publication you can search) and recounts a victory from the 1915 undefeated season. Read that story and then compare it to a game story produced sometime this season (again, ideally from the same publication).
Consider the following in your response:
1) Explain the significant differences between the two types of writing - the words used, the descriptions (or lack of) relating to the game, use of other components to illustrate the outcome (visuals, graphics, video), etc. In short, what stands out between the two stories.
2) Note the differences and similarities between the numbers used in both stories. What type of numbers were used and how frequently?
3) Describe how the author integrates players (or not) into the game story. Consider direct quotes, descriptions of plays, etc.
