So I’m trying to make fetch happen with my Sports Media A vs. Sports Media B frame. There’s the formal Sports Media A discourse, where official media offers socially acceptable opinions. Then there’s the Sports Media B discourse, where everyone else engages in an alternative conversation on social media.
Sports Media A is where I go to read about how Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel’s job is in jeopardy. He’s mucked up Herbert’s footwork and will pay for his sins. Sports Media B is where I go to read jokes about how the offense has really fallen apart because the quarterback is distracted by Beer’s molten hotness.
I believe the new look Minnesota Timberwolves, who crushed the new look Miami Heat in last night’s opener, fit this frame pretty easily. It’s just hard to say exactly what Minnesota’s Sports Media B appeal is. Or maybe it’s easy to say, just less so for myself, and other WHITE writers who live at least part time in Sports Media A. But, take it away Anthony Edwards.
