A question I’ve frequently been asked when I express my interest in sports journalism has been, “Why sports?” Not so much as in, what do you like about sports? but more, don’t you think you could accomplish more?

 Yes, I have created a poll for this post (and I’m really excited about it because it took a lot more effort that it rightly should have). This is what we in the business call “a teaser.” You’ll have to actually read the post to discover what it is. Brilliant!
