I guess sports doesn’t occur in a lab or recording studio so her achievements don’t matter? Le sportsball bad amirite fellow rediters?!1

Focusing on individuals helps turn statistics into digestible information. There’s nothing wrong with that. If they decide to start bombing deep into the country again and I get hit, wouldn’t it be worse if I was just a number that makes someone think “huh that sucks” instead of being remembered for who I am?

No, more like why does this person deserve an article to themselves over everyone else?

They're not special for playing soccer.

Why do they publish about boring shit like sports and war and not cool things that celebrate human achievements like business and AI?
