Sports reporting has a lot of jargon.This is true whether you’re a writer, announcer, or TV sports reporter. It is definitely beneficial. Stories would be awfully hard to read if I began every one the same way and described every shot using the standard vernacular.Every story would begin “Warren County High School won 5-3 Monday night” and every score in basketball, being one of the longer seasons, would be “John Jones hit for a 3-point shot” hence the necessity for the specialized lingo.Much of this sports jargon is very creative, and usually started by someone using it once and it catching on as it were.
