Graphic displays a quote from Mirin Fader: "If you want to understand the full human experience—the grit, the joy, the sadness, the frustration and excitement within all of us—there is no better place to look than sports writing. In a world that sometimes tells us that this writing isn’t as important as other writing, we know better. Sports is a microcosm of society, a kaleidoscope of who we are. I’m grateful to be able to share the incredible work of my peers, so the world can understand itself better."

Too much of sports reporting has become co-opted by hot take noise and betting support services. When I edited The Year’s Best Sports Writing in 2024, The Washington Post had a volume of excellent stories, subjects other outlets weren’t touching. It would be a true loss for the business.
