Substack Live replays are only for our paid subscribers, so if you want to hear my whole conversation with Ethan Strauss, upgrade your subscription here:
The illustrious Ethan Strauss went live with me to discuss the death of sportswriting, or at least the decline of one of the essential forms like the “gamer,” that quickly filed postgame dispatch that had to make sense of the action before the sweat had dried.
Ethan also makes the case that the Women's National Basketball Association’s strongest product may not be the basketball itself, but the cultural friction orbiting it. He also shares a great story about how one of his best articles was repackaged into a YouTube video that eclipsed his original piece.
What do you think? Is sports writing over? Let us know in the comments.
