From Richard Ford's 1986 novel, The Sportswriter:
Art Fox told me that if you're a man in this country you probably already know enough to be a good sportswriter. More than anything, he said, what you needed was a willingness to watch something very similar over and over again, then be able to write about it in two days' time, plus an appreciation of the fact that you're always writing about people who wanted to be doing what they're doing or they wouldn't be doing it, which was the only urgency sportswriting could summon, but also the key to overcoming the irrelevancy of sports itself.
