For an assortment of seven articles distributed last week, The New York Times' Sports work area introduced authors and editors with a chance: Search for that word, opportunity. Decipher it extensively. Return with a story thought. Then, at that point hold it to 900 words.
Jonathan Abrams expounds on Curt Flood, a middle defender for the St. Louis Cardinals during the 1960s, and his battle for authority over which group he played on. Charles McNair described his brief time frame as mentor of a soccer group of Saudi Arabian parts in the Deep South. All things considered, opportunity was the opportunity to escape the field.
The odd bundle is important for the Sports work area's occasional work to part from the constant speed of the advanced consistent pattern of media reporting, said Mike Wilson, a delegate sports manager. At regular intervals, editors, scholars and visual columnists meet to discuss the art and let story thoughts bubble up. The work area had concluded that the calmer piece of the late spring between the Olympics and the N.F.L. Season would be a decent second to distribute something other than what's expected. What's more, one topic appeared to present a defense for itself.
"The more we kicked it around — the pandemic was to individuals — our journalists were restricted in where they could go," Mr. Wilson said. "What is opportunity to a competitor? What is opportunity to somebody who doesn't have it?"
The primary individual to try out a thought was Randy Archibold, The Times' games proofreader. Prior to joining the work area as a manager, Mr. Archibold was a journalist, filling in as a department boss in Mexico City and as a public reporter before that. He said it was significant for editors to fill in as correspondents, "to go out into the field with an unfilled scratch pad."
"We should be helped to remember that fear: Are you going to get the story or not? We request that our columnists go through this constantly," he said.
At a boiling retail facade boxing rec center on Long Island, Mr. Archibold discovered Brian Jimenez, a 13-year-old figuring out how to take a punch the most difficult way possible. There was opportunity in that.
