The print edition of the Wall Street Journal has introduced a daily sports page and when I say sports page, I mean it is just a page. It seems like an odd choice, introducing more sports coverage to a business oriented newspaper. However, it may be an attempt to increase advertising revenue and grow the subscriber base, similar to the earlier introduction of the Weekend Journal.
The sports coverage is supposed to be analytical, high-level and statistical. That does not mean it is dry. I laughed out loud when I read this excerpt from yesterdays’ journal, written by Bernie Lincicome.
“The visual highlight of the week was Henrik Stenson, a particularly tidy sort who avoided splashing mud on himself by taking off nearly all of his clothes. It takes a lot to upstage Tiger Woods, but a Swede golfing in his skivvies in a water hazard will do it every time.”
