Enjoyed this piece (only just stumbled across it). A lot of what you have said was the driver of this very topic at a recent conference I attended. Sports journalism has the platforms, audiences and capture to be so agile... and yet the focus is often one dimensional
Pretty much spot on, although I do think there is still space and time for more nuanced discussion that people will watch and engage with. James Allcott for example is excellent and has been for a while with deep tactical insights and considered takes on some of the biggest stories, mostly staying away from the 'content' (a word that now makes me want to throw up some time, associated with soulless things to just consume).

Thanks for reading Chris, still very relevant a year or so on!
Who knows, maybe Smith, Delaney et al have gone in this direction because they know this is where the clicks, etc are.
