Perspective: Sports are a refuge from the real world, but nothing should distract us from this reality.
Robert McChesney, a one-time freelance sportswriter turned prominent media scholar at the University of Illinois, pointed out in his now 30-year-old seminal analysis, “A History of Sports Coverage in the United States,” that our belief in sports as harbor from all else is not the result of accident.
The specific reason coverage of sports became so conspicuous, McChesney argued, was because of rabid competition for media’s growing audience and publishers’ recognition of what grew or shrank a paying customer base. It wasn’t controversy, or human tragedy.
