And that is all journalism is about. Sports journalism is pretty simple. Just give us the box scores and we are happy. If you want to write like Grant Rice, just make sure you have a big thesaurus so that you can find 50 synonyms for the deep green gridiron. Besides that, there is not much need for creativity.
Objectivity is pretty easy to come by.
